Ingredients
  • 500 g Fresh Raspberries
  • 200 ml Water
  • 150 g Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Rosewater

Prepare the Raspberry Puree

Begin by rinsing the raspberries thoroughly. In a blender or food processor, blend the raspberries until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. This will give your sorbet a smoother texture.

Make the Sugar Syrup

In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

Combine and Chill

Once the sugar syrup has cooled, combine it with the raspberry puree, lemon juice, and rosewater. Stir well to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed. Taste and adjust sweetness or rosewater according to your preference.

Churn in Ice Cream Maker

Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.

Freeze to Harden

Once churned, the sorbet will be soft. Transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to harden to your desired consistency.

Serving

Scoop the sorbet into bowls and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh raspberries or edible rose petals, if desired.
