Lemon Ginger is back!

For a limited time- we will have refreshing lemon ginger shaved ice and sodas available! But- I wanted to share with you a fun recipe for how to use our Lemon Ginger syrup in a new way at home!

 Lemon Sorbet in Lemon Cups

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.
