Inactive freezer time 2+ hours
Ingredients
3 cups pomegranate Squeezed Juice
1 cup sugar
1 lemon, juiced (1/4-1/3 cup)
2 tablespoons honey
3-4 large sweet basil leaves, thinly sliced
Method
- Freeze the ice cream maker bowl at least 24 hours before you plan on making the sorbet.
- Pour the pomegranate Squeezed Juice, sugar, lemon juice, honey, and sweet basil into a large bowl.
- Stir until the sugar dissolves, just a few minutes. Allow the basil to steep in the mixture about 30 minutes.
- Pour the mixture through a sieve to remove the basil. Or skip this step if you don’t mind an herbaceous bite.
- Pour the mixture into the ice cream spinner/maker and turn it on. It’ll take around 30 minutes for it to fully freeze.
- Place the soft sorbet into a small container and freeze further at least 2 hours. Scoop, serve, and enjoy!
