Ingredients
- 500 ml Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 100 ml Water
- 1 whole orange Zest of orange
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Orange liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier or Cointreau)
Directions
Step 1
1. In a small saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar fully dissolves and forms a simple syrup. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 2
2. While the syrup cools, wash and zest one orange. Be careful to only zest the outer layer, avoiding the bitter white pith.
Step 3
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, cooled simple syrup, orange zest, lemon juice, and orange liqueur. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Step 4
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it is thoroughly chilled.
Step 5
5. Once the mixture is cold, pour it into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, which usually takes 20-30 minutes, until the sorbet has a smooth, creamy consistency.
Step 6
6. Transfer the churned sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up.
Step 7
7. Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or serving glasses, and garnish with additional orange zest or a fresh mint sprig, if desired.
