I'd like something fresh I'd like a Lemon Sorbet! Well, the hot weather is coming and a lemon sorbet is what we need! You can prepare it quickly with Thermomix and have a great result!
It's perfect as a summer dessert because it is tasty and refreshing. But I must say that I also like it in winter. I prepare it especially when a dish is particularly "greasy" and lemon removes the "grease". It isn't so smart to say but I think it renders the idea very well doesn't it?
Lemon sorbet then is good to freshen up a summer mid-afternoon. We could call it a "snack", a fresh and light break.
I don't know if I've given the idea but I like it so much! :-P
In this article I suggest some recipes to prepare the lemon sorbet. In particular you can find 2 main variations: non-alcoholic or lightly alcoholic lemon sorbet.
What about you? Have you got a very original lemon sorbet recipe of yours you would like to add to these ones?
