Ingredients
225g caster sugar
16g dried rose petals
6 tbsp rosewater
1 tbsp glycerine
Juice of 1 lemon ๐
Instructions
1๏ธโฃ The day before, put the caster sugar and 225ml cold water in a pan. Heat gently for around 4 minutes until the sugar has dissolved. ๐ฒ
2๏ธโฃ Add the dried rose petals to the syrup just to wilt, then remove the pan from the heat. ๐น
3๏ธโฃ Add 200ml more cold water, the rosewater, and the glycerine. Allow the mixture to cool for 30 minutes. ๐
4๏ธโฃ Add the lemon juice and leave the petals to macerate for a few hours, squeezing the petals occasionally until the mixture turns a nice pink color. ๐
5๏ธโฃ Strain the mixture through a sieve set over a bowl and discard the petals. ๐ฒ
6๏ธโฃ Churn the mixture in an ice cream machine following the manufacturerโs instructions until frozen. ๐ฆ
7๏ธโฃ Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-proof container, cover, and freeze for around 12 hours, or longer if necessary, until nicely scoop-able. โ๏ธ
If you donโt have an ice cream machine:
1๏ธโฃ Pour the mixture into a freezer-proof container and place it uncovered in the freezer. โ๏ธ
2๏ธโฃ After 1ยฝ hours, use a fork to break up the ice crystals around the edges. Bring those into the middle and whisk until broken up and slushy. โ๏ธ๐ด
3๏ธโฃ Re-freeze and repeat the freezing and whisking process again, then re-freeze until evenly firm but not solid. โ๏ธ๐
4๏ธโฃ Transfer to a processor and blitz to a smooth, lighter mixture. Transfer back to the container, cover, and freeze until needed. ๐จ
