Ingredients
- 200 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Grated lemon zest
- 200 g Granulated sugar
- 250 ml Water
- 60 ml White rum
- 2 tbsp Light corn syrup (optional, for smoother texture)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a simple syrup. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the simple syrup to cool to room temperature.
Step 4
Once the simple syrup has cooled, stir in the fresh lemon juice, grated lemon zest, and light corn syrup (if using).
Step 5
Pour in the white rum and mix thoroughly.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until it is thoroughly chilled.
Step 7
Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 8
Move the churned sorbet to a freezer-safe container, cover it with a lid or plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Step 9
Scoop the sorbet into serving bowls or glasses and garnish with a twist of lemon zest, if desired. Serve immediately.
