Tips:
- Use ripe lemons: For the best flavor, use lemons that are ripe and juicy. Look for lemons that are bright yellow and heavy for their size.
- Zest the lemons before juicing them: Zesting the lemons before juicing them will help to release their essential oils and give the frozen yogurt a more intense lemon flavor.
- Use Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is a good source of protein and calcium, and it has a thick and creamy texture that makes it perfect for frozen yogurt.
- Add honey or maple syrup to taste: The amount of sweetener you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Freeze the yogurt in a shallow container: This will help it to freeze evenly and quickly.
- Stir the yogurt every 30 minutes during freezing: This will help to prevent the yogurt from becoming icy.
- Serve the frozen yogurt immediately or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks: If you are storing the frozen yogurt, let it thaw for a few minutes before serving.
