Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh raspberries
- 100 grams sugar
- 120 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 5 grams fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Wash the raspberries thoroughly under cold water and gently dry them with a paper towel.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved to form a simple syrup. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool completely.
Once the simple syrup has cooled, place the raspberries, lemon juice, honey, and mint leaves in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and pureed.
Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain the raspberry mixture into a large mixing bowl to remove the seeds. Use a spatula to press the mixture through the sieve to extract as much juice and pulp as possible.
Stir the cooled simple syrup into the strained raspberry puree until well combined.
Transfer the sorbet mixture into a shallow, airtight freezer-safe container.
Place the container in the freezer and allow the sorbet to freeze for at least 3-4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours to prevent ice crystals from forming and ensure a smooth texture.
Once the sorbet is firm and scoopable, serve immediately. If stored for a longer period, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before serving.
