Can be made with either ice-cream maker or electric whisk. <br />
<br />
Serves: 8 <br />
<br />
Ingredients <br />
<br />
200g caster sugar <br />
300ml water <br />
300ml strained lemon juice (about 6 large lemons) <br />
3 tbsp lemon vodka (I use limoncello that I keep in the freezer) <br />
<br />
Method <br />
<br />
1. Put the caster sugar and the water in a small saucepan and over a medium-low heat. Heat the pan gently, stirring, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Bring to the boil and boil steadily for 5 minutes (without stirring), or until the solution has attained the consistency of a thin syrup. Leave to cool, then stir in the lemon juice, and the lemon vodka. <br />
<br />
2. Pour the lemon mixture into an ice cream maker and process following the manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, if you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the lemon mixture into a shallow container and freeze for an hour. Remove from the freezer and beat with an electric mixer until smooth, then return to the freezer. Repeat this procedure twice to produce a smooth, fine-textured sorbet, then leave to freeze until very firm. Serve in scoops. <br />
