| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. | Prepare the Simple Syrup: In a saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Allow it to cook for about 2 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved. |
| 2. | Incorporate the Lemon Juice: Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully add the fresh lemon juice to the syrup mixture, stirring well to combine. The mixture should be smooth and well incorporated. |
| 3. | Cool the Mixture: Transfer the lemon syrup into a separate container and let it cool. You can speed up the cooling process by placing the container in an ice bath or simply refrigerating it overnight. This step ensures that the mixture is thoroughly chilled before freezing. |
| 4. | Freeze in Ice Cream Maker: Once the lemon syrup is completely chilled, it’s time to transform it into sorbet! Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for churning. Allow the sorbet to freeze until it reaches the desired consistency. |
| 5. | Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the freshly churned lemon sorbet into bowls or cones. Garnish with a twist of lemon zest or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of freshness. Serve immediately and revel in the delightful tanginess of this homemade treat! |
| 6. | Storage Tip: Any leftover sorbet can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. Simply thaw it slightly before serving for the perfect scoopable texture. Enjoy this refreshing sorbet whenever your taste buds crave a burst of citrusy flavor! |

Notes:
- For those without an ice cream maker, you can still enjoy this sorbet by freezing the lemon syrup mixture in a shallow dish. Once frozen, transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth and creamy. This alternative method may require a bit more effort but yields equally delicious results!
