Lemon Grass-Basil Sorbet
Sorbet Ingredients:
Yield: 1 quart
- 2? - cups water
- 2 - cups sugar
- 1 - cup chopped lemongrass
- 1 - tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 2 - tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 6 - fresh basil leaves
- 6 - fresh mint leaves
Special Note:
Lemon verbena is an aromatic herb with a very strong
lemon-like flavor that, unfortunately, can be difficult to find.
For that reason, this refreshing sorbet combines the more readily
available lemongrass, lemon zest, basil, and mint that very
closely duplicate the lemon verbena flavor. If you'd like to
add an extra kick, drizzle the sorbet with icy cold citron-flavored
vodka before serving.
Sorbet Preparation:
Combine the water, sugar, lemongrass, lemon zest
and juice in a medium-heavy saucepan and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the basil and mint and
simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain through
a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl. Cool, then refrigerate
for 2 hours.Process the mixture in an ice cream machine according
to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight
container and freeze until it firms up, at least 2 hours before
serving.
