Ingredients

• 500 ml Water
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 200 ml Fresh lemon juice
• 100 ml Limoncello
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar over medium heat.

Step 2

Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely, then remove the saucepan from the heat to cool slightly. This will create a simple syrup.

Step 3

Once the syrup has cooled to room temperature, stir in the fresh lemon juice, limoncello, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture into a shallow container and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

Step 5

Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a sorbet-like consistency.

Step 6

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze. Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture with a fork to break up ice crystals; repeat this step until the desired consistency is achieved (about 3-4 hours).

Step 7

Once churned or frozen to the right texture, transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours to firm up.

Step 8

Serve the Limoncello Sorbet in small bowls or glasses, garnished with a twist of lemon peel or a sprig of mint, if desired.
