Equipment

  • 1 Ice Cream Maker

Ingredients
  

  • 5 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice roughly 3 1/2 lemons
  • 1 zest from fresh lemon
  • 6 oz. water, plus extra
  • 5 oz honey or use vegan honey alternative
  • a few sprigs of thyme

Instructions
 

  • In a small heavy-bottomed pan add all of the ingredients and stir.
  • Place on a medium heat, stir occasionally, bring to a boil and turn off and remove from the heat. Leave to infuse until cooled, about 45 minutes.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine-meshed sieve and pour into the ice cream tub.
  • Reference the instruction guide to your ice cream maker on how to proceed to make sorbet. In my Cuisinart ice cream maker, I pour the liquid into the pre-frozen tub and process for 25 minutes.
  • Scoop sorbet into individual containers or a plastic tub and freeze.

Notes

The author of this recipe has a completely different style ice cream maker than I do, so I improvised with my Cuisinart one. If you want to see the original recipe, click on the link here.
Also I did not have fresh thyme so I used one sprig of fresh rosemary. I took the sprig out after boiling as I wasn't sure how strong it would be. If you want a strong rosemary presence, leave the sprig(s) in mixture while cooling. Might e fun to experiment with lavender, rose, or other fresh herbs too.
