Ingredients

Method

• 200 G sugar
• 85 ml water
• 15 ml lemon juice
• 1 free-range egg white
• 4 T caster sugar

Method

Ingredients

Place the sugar, water and lemon juice in a saucepan, and heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Place the syrup and your choice of flavouring ingredients (see recipes on this page) in a blender and process until smooth. Strain through a muslin cloth or strainer.

Whisk together the egg white and caster sugar, until soft peaks form. Lightly fold the sugary egg mixture into the strained syrup mixture. Churn in an ice-cream churner, until set and lightly frozen.

Transfer to a container and freeze overnight.

Cook’s tip: For a lighter sorbet, add an additional egg white.
