yield: makes 2 cups • prep time: 20 minutes + 2 hours to chill • cook time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

MINT SIMPLE SYRUP

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 8 mint leaves

SORBET

  • 3 cups frozen raspberries

  • 1 Tbsp honey

  • ½ lemon, zest and juice of ⅓ cup mint simple syrup Mint leaves, for garnish Fresh raspberries, for garnish

Method

FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP

  • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring ½ cup of water, the sugar, and mint leaves to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved, 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely. Strain the syrup into an airtight container and discard the mint leaves. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.

FOR THE SORBET

  • Place the raspberries, honey, lemon zest and juice in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse just until the raspberries are broken into small pieces.

  • With the food processor running, pour the simple syrup in a slow, continuous stream until the mixture is fully blended. Add warm water, 1 Tbsp, if necessary, to achieve a creamy texture.

  • Freeze in a freezer-safe, airtight container for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

  • Serve in a champagne coupe or martini glass. Garnish with mint and fresh raspberries.

It is super easy to make and it can be prepared a few days in advance and kept in the freezer until ready to serve. ⁠
