How to Make Cucumber Mint Sorbet
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup sugar (or honey)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Make the Simple Syrup:
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar (or honey) and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool.
2. Prepare the Cucumber and Mint:
In a blender, combine the chopped cucumbers, fresh mint leaves, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
3. Combine and Chill:
Strain the cucumber-mint mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp. Stir in the cooled simple syrup until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, stirring occasionally to break up ice crystals.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
Scoop the chilled cucumber mint sorbet into bowls, garnishing with fresh mint leaves and thin slices of cucumber for an extra refreshing touch.
