Tasmanian Pepperberry & Lemon Myrtle Sorbet
Makes 2 pints, or about 5 cups
250ml water
150g sugar
100ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
200ml Pepperberry Syrup
10g Lemon Myrtle
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the water, sugar and lemon myrtle, and heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat and add lemon juice and Pepperberry Syrup. Add some ground dried pepper for extra pepper bite!
- Transfer to an ice cream maker. Churn according to manufacturer instructions. When the sorbet has frozen into ice crystals (it will still seem quite soft), transfer to a storage container, cover tightly and freeze until ready to serve. The lemon myrtle sorbet will solidify in the freezer.
- Sorbet Without an Ice Cream Maker: If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can transfer mixture to a 9×13 metal baking pan. Freeze until firm (about 2 to 3 hours), stirring with a fork every half hour.
- Serve with our Pepperberry Dessert Sauce
