Instructions:
-
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.
-
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.
-
Cool completely: Let the mixture cool until it reaches room temperature. This step is crucial for the next stage of the recipe.
-
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.
-
Incorporate mint leaves: Finely chop the mint leaves and stir them into the mixture. This will infuse the sorbet with refreshing mint flavor.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Serve: Once the sorbet is fully frozen, scoop it into bowls or glasses and enjoy its refreshing citrus and mint flavors.
