Champagne Sorbet
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup champagne
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of white sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once the sugar syrup has cooled, stir in 1 cup of champagne, 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of lemon zest.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. After 1 hour, stir the mixture with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours, or until the sorbet is firm and slushy.
- Serve the champagne sorbet in chilled glasses and garnish with a fresh mint sprig or a slice of lemon, if desired. Enjoy!
