Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Grated lemon zest
- 200 g Granulated sugar
- 250 ml Water
- 60 ml White rum
- 2 tbsp Light corn syrup (optional, for smoother texture)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a simple syrup. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the simple syrup to cool to room temperature.
Once the simple syrup has cooled, stir in the fresh lemon juice, grated lemon zest, and light corn syrup (if using).
Pour in the white rum and mix thoroughly.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until it is thoroughly chilled.
Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Move the churned sorbet to a freezer-safe container, cover it with a lid or plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Scoop the sorbet into serving bowls or glasses and garnish with a twist of lemon zest, if desired. Serve immediately.
