Lemon Sorbet- A fresh, tangy treat that turns a bowl of lemons into pure sunshine
There’s something so refreshing about a scoop of lemon sorbet on a warm day.

Whether you’ve got an ice cream maker or not, this recipe delivers a smooth texture and a burst of bright citrus flavour that’s pure sunshine in a bowl.
