Pinch of kosher salt

Categories     dessert

Time 28m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 wineglass water (about 5 ounces)
1 wineglass sugar (equal in weight to the water)
5 to 6 limes, zested
1 glass lime juice
1 very large bunch basil, pounded to a puree

Steps:

  • Place the water and sugar in a pan, bring to a boil, and simmer for 4 minutes with the lime zest. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool for a while. Add the lime juice and basil puree. Stir this up and leave to infuse for a while. Pass it through a coarse sieve and pour into a plastic tub or earthenware dish and place in the freezer. Generally, sorbet takes 2 hours to set. Try to stir it around every 30 minutes, if you remember. Serve it in a glass on its own.

Tips:

  • For a smoother sorbet, use ripe, juicy lemons and strain the mixture before churning.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this sorbet. Simply freeze the mixture in a covered container for 4-6 hours, stirring every hour to break up the ice crystals.
  • To make a vegan sorbet, use a plant-based milk and yogurt instead of dairy.
  • For a more intense lemon flavor, add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the mixture.
  • Serve the sorbet immediately, or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

This no-churn lemon basil sorbet is a refreshing and delicious treat that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright citrus flavor and hint of basil, this sorbet is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
