Ingredients
2 cups sugar2 cups water1.5 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice1 tablespoon finely chopped lemon zest**When zesting a lemon or lime, use a vegetable peeler to remove the colored part of the citrus rind.
Makes 8 1/2-cup servings.
Combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer without stirring until the sugar dissolves, about 3-5 minutes. Cool completely (very important.) This is called simple syrup. It can be made ahead of time in larger quantities to have on hand for making fresh lemon sorbet. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
When cool, add the lemon juice and zest; stir to combine. Turn the ice cream machine ON, pour the lemon mixture into the freezer bowl through the ingredient spout and mix until thickened, about 25-30 minutes. For me, the mixture is about frozen drink consistency. Place in an air-tight, freezer safe container, and freeze for another hour or two. Enjoy!
