Instructions:

  1. Zest the grapefruit: Start by zesting the grapefruit and drop the zest into a stainless steel saucepan. Add the sugar and water to the saucepan and bring it to a boil.

  2. Dissolve the sugar: Stir continuously to dissolve the sugar completely. Once the sugar is fully dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool.

  3. Cool completely: Let the mixture cool until it reaches room temperature. This step is crucial for the next stage of the recipe.

  4. Add grapefruit juice and lemon: Remove the strips of zest from the mixture, then pour in the grapefruit juice and squeeze in the lemon juice. Stir the mixture well to combine all the ingredients.

  5. Incorporate mint leaves: Finely chop the mint leaves and stir them into the mixture. This will infuse the sorbet with refreshing mint flavor.

  6. Freeze the mixture: Pour the mixture into a suitable container, cover it, and place it in the freezer for an hour. This initial freezing helps set the sorbet’s texture.

  7. Stir and freeze: After an hour, remove the sorbet from the freezer and use a spoon to stir the frozen edges into the center. Return the sorbet to the freezer for another hour.

  8. Repeat freezing and stirring: Continue this process of freezing and stirring every hour until the mixture is completely frozen. This typically takes about three hours in total.

  9. Serve: Once the sorbet is fully frozen, scoop it into bowls or glasses and enjoy its refreshing citrus and mint flavors.

Enjoy your Grapefruit Mint Crush! 🍹
