Spanish Sunrise Sorbet (Granizado de Limón)
Granizado de Limón, or Spanish Sunrise Sorbet, is a refreshing and tangy frozen dessert that is perfect for hot summer days. This traditional Madrid cuisine recipe is easy to make and requires only a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4 lemons, juiced and zested
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Add the lemon juice and zest to the sugar syrup and stir to combine.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer.
- Every 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture to create a granular texture. Repeat this process for about 3-4 hours, or until the mixture is fully frozen and has a light, fluffy texture.
- Serve the granizado de limón in chilled glasses and garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint, if desired.
