Ingredients
- 5 large Lemons
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Juice the lemons until you have about 1 cup of lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water and erythritol. Stir until erythritol is completely dissolved, creating a simple syrup. This should take about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
Step 4
Mix the lemon juice, cooled syrup, and lemon zest in a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into a shallow metal baking dish, cover it, and place it in the freezer.
Step 6
After one hour, remove the mixture from the freezer and use a fork to scrape and break up the ice crystals. Repeat this scraping process every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours until you achieve a smooth, sorbet-like texture.
Step 7
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional hour to firm up, if necessary.
Step 8
To serve, scoop the sorbet into bowls and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
