Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sweetener. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the honey or agave syrup if you’re using it. Allow the syrup to cool for about 10 minutes.
3. While the syrup is cooling, zest and juice the lemons. You should have about 1 cup of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest.
4. Once the syrup has cooled slightly, stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. This will enhance the flavors.
5. Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or until it is thoroughly chilled. You can also leave it in the fridge overnight if you want to make the sorbet the next day.
6. Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
7. When the sorbet has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and place it in the freezer to firm up for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
8. Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. This will make it easier to scoop.
9. Scoop the lemon sorbet into bowls or cones and enjoy your refreshing, low-sugar treat!
