- Juice those lemons by slicing them in half and using a citrus juicer to extract the juice.

- Stir in the lemon juice and zest once the syrup has cooled.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

- Transfer the churned sorbet into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours.
- Serve the sorbet in bowls, garnished with fresh mint or extra lemon zest.
Notes
For a fizzy twist, replace some water with lemon-flavored sparkling water. To make without an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture and stir every 30 minutes.
