Sparkling Lemon Ginger Sorbetto
6-8 lemons
1.5 c. sparkling water
1 c. Lemon ginger syrup
Slice lemons in half - squeeze out the juice, but save the lemon shells.You can also use a grapefruit spoon or a knife to remove the innards of the lemon and preserve the shell and then run that through a juicer!
Slice the bottom of the lemon shell slightly (don't break the skin!) so it sits upright. Freeze the shells for 3-4 hours.
Combine lemon juice, sparkling water and lemon ginger syrup with a whisk. Strain out any "pips" or seeds. Cover and keep in fridge until ready to use.
If using an ice cream maker- transfer the liquid to the ice cream maker and churn away!
If you don't have one- you can pour into a container, cover and put in the freezer. Check every few hours and grate over the top with a fork to break up ice crystals and stick back in the freezer (do this 3-4 times) until completely frozen. Once completely frozen- process in a blender until smooth.
Spoon sorbetto into frozen lemon cups. Top with a mint sprig or Candied Ginger. Yum!
You can put them back in the freezer in an air tight container and pull out to serve at a later date. Should keep for 3-4 days.
