Basil Sorbet

This recipe for basil sorbet is tongue-tingling ice that delivers the refreshing flavours of summer. I think this is a beautiful palate cleanser rather than dessert, which is why I’m posting near the busy festive season when lots of entertaining is done.

This is a fresh and simple recipe to make at home by yourselves. By following just a few simple steps, you’ll get a really tasty sorbet to offer to your friends—delicious enjoyed on its own, or made into refreshing popsicles, fancy ice-cubes to add a pop of herbaceous flavour to cocktails, or blended with water for a tasty granita.

With just 4 ingredients and all store cupboard essentials – who doesn’t have sugar, ice or lemon hanging around, there really is no excuse not to try this one. Be a domestic goddess and do it.
