Lemon Sorbet

Sorbetto al limone: a clean, sharp Italian lemon ice made from a light sugar syrup infused with lemon zest and sharpened with fresh juice. Churned smooth or forked by hand, it is the classic between-courses or after-dinner refresher.

Method

  1. Pare the zest from 1 unwaxed lemon in wide strips with a vegetable peeler, taking as little white pith as possible. Squeeze and strain 65 ml of lemon juice and keep it cold.
  2. Put 55 g of caster sugar, 180 ml of water and the zest strips in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved, about 3 minutes, then let it simmer for 2 minutes without stirring.
  3. Take the pan off the heat and leave the zest to infuse in the syrup for 15 minutes, until it smells strongly of lemon oil. Strain the syrup into a bowl and discard the zest.
