How to make
We often confuse sherbet with sorbet and they are two different things.
Sherbet is a thick and sweet fruit syrup served with ice cubes and diluted with water or soda, while sorbet is an icy, frozen dessert similar to ice cream, though sometimes served in a glass.
For our strawberry sherbet, boil a sweet syrup of water and sugar for 15 minutes over high heat. Honey can also be added, making the syrup even sweeter and thus needing more dilution when served.
Let the sweet sugar syrup cool completely.
Grind the strawberries in a blender along with the freshly squeezed lemon juice. If desired, we can strain to remove the small seeds and the fruit.
Add the syrup plus 3.5 oz (100 g) of crushed ice and mint leaves if desired. Grind once more and pour it into bottle.
Dilute the aromatic strawberry sherbet with water or soda until it is as sweet as you like it.
Serve this wonderful drink with ice cubes.
