Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 375 ml Cava (Spanish sparkling wine)
- 150 g Sugar
- 125 ml Water
- 50 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 75 ml Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved to create a simple syrup. This should take approximately 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the simple syrup to cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled simple syrup with the lemon juice, orange juice, lemon zest, and orange zest. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients.
Slowly add the cava to the mixture, gently stirring to avoid excessive bubbling. Mix until evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the freezer.
Every 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape and stir the sorbet mixture to break up any ice crystals forming. Repeat this process for about 3-4 hours, or until the sorbet reaches a smooth, scoopable texture.
Once the sorbet is fully frozen, scoop it into serving bowls or glasses. Optionally, garnish with a twist of citrus zest or a sprig of fresh mint.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Spanish cava sorbet!
