Limoncello Lemon Sorbet With Or Without Mint Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the top third off each lemon. Cut a small slice off the bottom of each lemon so it stands up. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the inside of each lemon, creating a lemon cup. Put the lemon cup in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
• Put the sorbet into the bowl of a food processor. Add the limoncello and vodka and process until smooth. Place the frozen lemon cups onto shot glasses filled with limoncello. Fill the lemon shells with the sorbet mixture and serve.

Steps:

• Bring the sugar, water, mint, and lemon balm to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Strain into a heatproof container. Stir in the muscat wine. Refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours.
• Stir in the lemon juice; pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches "soft-serve" consistency. Transfer ice cream to a one- or two-quart plastic container with a lid; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the sugar and 1 cup water to boil. Cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the mint leaves and allow to steep until cooled, about 15 minutes. Strain the simple syrup into a medium mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, orange zest, lime zest, orange juice and 1/2 cup water. Stir to combine.
• Pour the mixture into the frozen bowl of an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the sorbet to a deep baking dish or loaf pan, cover tightly and place into the freezer until frozen, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve, scoop the sorbet into a bowl, drizzle with limoncello and garnish with a mint sprig.

Steps:

• Bring water to boil, add sugar and lemon zest. Stir until sugar has dissolved then cool.
• Strain out zest and add lemon juice. Freeze over night.

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest and vodka in a 2-gallon jar. Cover, and let stand 3 to 4 days at room temperature.
• Remove and discard the lemon zest. Stir in the sugar and water until the sugar has dissolved. Pour into bottles or other containers, and store in the freezer.
