Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Water
- 2 cups Fresh orange juice
- 0.5 cups Fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup Evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled sugar syrup, fresh orange juice, fresh lemon juice, evaporated milk, and orange zest. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or lemon juice, if desired.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream freezer, ensuring you follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Churn the mixture in the ice cream freezer until it reaches a smooth, semi-frozen consistency. This typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on your machine.
Once churned, transfer the sherbet into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Serve chilled in scoops and enjoy this refreshing dessert!
