Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 pints strawberries
- 2 large sprigs fresh mint leaves
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and hull them by removing the green tops to ready them for blending.
- Prepare Mint Leaves: Separate the mint leaves from the stems to ensure a fresh mint flavor without bitterness from the stems.
- Blend Ingredients: Combine the strawberries, sugar, fresh mint leaves, and water in a blender. Puree the mixture until it becomes smooth and even in texture.
- Freeze Sorbet: Pour the blended mixture into your ice cream or sorbet maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for freezing. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
- Serve or Store: Serve the sorbet immediately for the best texture or transfer it to an airtight container and freeze it until ready to enjoy. Let it soften slightly at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving if frozen long-term.
Notes
- Use organic strawberries if possible for better flavor and health benefits.
- Wash strawberries by soaking them in cold water and repeat after hulling for thorough cleaning.
- Leftover sorbet can be stored in the freezer for up to one month. Allow to soften before serving.
