Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 375 ml Riesling wine
- 240 ml Water
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 2 sprigs Fresh mint (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely, forming a simple syrup. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.
Once the simple syrup is cool, pour it into a mixing bowl and add the Riesling wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a shallow, freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer.
Every 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture, breaking up any ice crystals that form. Repeat this process for about 4 hours, or until the sorbet has the desired smooth and scoopable consistency.
Once frozen, scoop the Riesling sorbet into serving dishes and garnish with fresh mint sprigs, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your elegant and refreshing dessert!
