Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh strawberries
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 120 milliliters water
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 leaves optional fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into halves or quarters if they are large.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and let the simple syrup cool to room temperature.

Step 3

Place the strawberries in a blender or food processor. Add the cooled simple syrup and lemon juice.

Step 4

Blend the mixture until very smooth. If you prefer a seedless sorbet, strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the seeds.

Step 5

Transfer the strawberry mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 15–25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 6

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Place it in the freezer and stir every 30–45 minutes for about 3 hours, breaking up any ice crystals, until smooth and fully frozen.

Step 7

Once the sorbet is set, scoop into serving bowls, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
