Instructions:
-
Using a vegetable peeler, carefully remove the zest (colored part) from the peel of one grapefruit.
-
Coarsely chop the grapefruit zest.
-
In a food processor or blender, combine the chopped zest, lavender (to taste), and sugar.
-
Cover and process or blend until the zest is finely chopped and mixed with the sugar.
-
Squeeze enough juice from the grapefruits to yield 4 cups of juice; pour the juice into a mixing bowl.
-
Add the zest mixture, lemon juice, and Grand Marnier (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

If using an ice cream freezer:
- Freeze the grapefruit mixture in a 2- or 4-quart ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer’s directions.
-
If not using an ice cream freezer:
- Freeze the mixture in small containers until almost frozen, then blend in a blender to achieve a slushy consistency.

Serve the sorbet in chilled bowls or glasses, garnished with fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and added freshness.
