3/4 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

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.
