Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Water
- 10 grams Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into halves or quarters for easier blending.
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let the sugar syrup cool to room temperature.
In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, cooled sugar syrup, mint leaves, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and no chunks remain.
If desired, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds for a smoother sorbet texture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a shallow, freezer-safe container with a lid. Chill in the freezer until the mixture is firm, about 4-6 hours, stirring with a fork every hour to prevent large ice crystals from forming.
When fully frozen, scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Garnish with additional fresh mint leaves if desired.
