Ingredients for a Perfect Lemon Basil Sorbet
Before diving into this icy adventure, let’s start with the essentials: the ingredients. It’s all about simplicity, but be careful, every detail counts.
- 500 ml of water – Because without water, there’s no sorbet!
- 150 g of sugar – Sweetness is a must to balance the acidity of the lemon.
- 2 organic lemons – We’re going to use the juice and the zest. Double freshness!
- 1 handful of fresh basil – For that little herbal touch that makes all the difference.
- 1 teaspoon of pink pepper – It’s going to surprise everyone with its little spicy kick.
