Limoncello Lemon Sorbet
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups cold water, divided
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 lemon, zested, or more to taste
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup limoncello liqueur
Instructions
1
Combine 1 cup of water with sugar and fresh mint leaves in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture gently, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has fully incorporated and the liquid is warm, approximately 5 minutes.
2
Remove the saucepan from the heat source; add a sprinkle of lemon zest to the mixture and stir gently. Allow the syrup to cool down slightly, about 10 minutes.
3
In a separate container, combine the remaining 1 1/2 cup of water with lemon juice and limoncello liqueur. Stir the ingredients together until well combined.
4
Pour this mixture into an ice cream maker and follow its instructions to churn the mixture, taking about 10 to 15 minutes.
5
Once the ice cream has finished churning, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze until firm, approximately 6 hours.
