Meyer Lemon with basil Sorbet

Meyer lemons-It is a cross between a lemon and either a mandarin or common orange and it has a very sweet, fragrant smell. I decided to make another sorbet again using my KitchenAid-Ice Cream Maker.

Ingredients are simple but the resulting sorbet is very sweet and refreshing.

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup of basil leaves (Steep basil in hot syrup for 1/2 hour)
• 1 cup juice from 3-4 meyer lemons
• 2 tablespoons of lemon zest

Melon Sorbet

Using a recipe from Garrett McCord of Vanilla Garlic, I made my first Melon sorbet using the KitchenAid-Ice Cream Maker.
I chose Brazil Galia melons because they are sweet and very aromatic. It combines so well with green limes, syrup and lemon juice to make a refreshing sorbet.
