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.
