In a small saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar over medium heat.
Stir regularly until the sugar is fully dissolved to create a simple syrup. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the passionfruit pulp, freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon juice, and orange zest.
Once the simple syrup has cooled, add it to the bowl with the fruit mixture. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into a blender or use an immersion blender to ensure the texture is smooth and even.
Transfer the mixture to a shallow, freezer-safe container and cover it with a lid or plastic wrap.
Place the container in the freezer for about 4-5 hours or until the sorbet is firm, stirring every hour with a fork to break up ice crystals and create a smooth texture.
When ready to serve, remove the sorbet from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
Serve in bowls or cones, and garnish with fresh orange slices or mint leaves if desired.
