Title: Mint Sorbet
Categories: Veg-cook, August
Yield: 1 servings
6 lg Sprigs of mint
6 T Sugar
1 1/4 c Water
Juice of one large lemon
1 Egg white
4 Sprigs mint to decorate
Wash the mint and shake it dry. Heat the sugar and water together until the
sugar is melted. Add the mint and leave it to steep in the sugar syrup off
the heat for about twenty minutes to half an hour. Taste it to see if the
mint taste has developed enough. If it's not strong enough you can reheat
the mixture to the boil again and then let it stand for another ten
minutes.
When it tastes about right to you, strain the liquid into a rigid container
and add the lemon juice. Leave to cool, then freeze until it's semi-frozen
(about 45 minutes to an hour). Beat the egg white until it's stiff enough
to stand up in peaks (an electric whisk is good for this) and fold it
gently into the semi-frozen mixture. Return to the freezer for about an
hour. By this time it should have formed a fairly firm mush. Spoon it into
glasses and decorate with the mint sprigs. You can vary this recipe by
using grapefruit juice instead of lemon and using a bit less water and a
bit less mint.
