🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. This creates a simple syrup that's the base of our sorbet.
- Next, remove the syrup from the heat and add the fresh mint leaves. Let it steep for about 20-30 minutes. This infuses the syrup with that refreshing mint flavor. Don't rush this step; it's key!
- Now, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the mint leaves. You want a clean, clear mint-infused syrup. Discard the leaves – they've done their job.
- In a blender, combine the mint syrup with the champagne and lemon juice. Blend until everything is well combined. The mixture should be slightly frothy.
- Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. Freezing time can vary, so check periodically.
- Once frozen, let the sorbet soften slightly for about 10-15 minutes before scooping. This makes it easier to serve.
- Serve in chilled glasses or bowls. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and a drizzle of honey, if desired. Enjoy your elegant and celebratory sorbet! Makes me want to throw a party!
📝 Notes
- For a sweeter sorbet, use a Demi-Sec champagne.
- Make sure to use high-quality champagne for the best flavor.
- Garnish with edible flowers for an extra touch of elegance.
