Strawberry Basil Sorbet

• 1 ½ cups Superb Herb basil leaves
• 800g strawberries (or other berries), hulled
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• ¼ cup lemon juice

Make this refreshing sorbet to satisfy your cravings on a hot summer’s day. Use fresh strawberries and basil for a delicious treat. Of course, sorbet is easiest to make with an ice cream machine but we’ve also given you a no churn option (or turn the sorbet into easy delicious popsicles).

1. 1. Add sugar and water to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves then add basil leaves. Stir well, take off the heat and leave to infuse and cool for 30 minutes. Strain and discard the basil, then add the sugar syrup to a blender.
   2. Blend sugar syrup with strawberries and lemon juice until smooth. Chill in the fridge until cool.
   3. Ice cream machine option: Pour into an ice cream machine* and churn for 25 minutes*, or until the sorbet has the consistency of soft serve ice cream. Pour into a freezer safe container and freeze for 2 hours before serving.
   4. No churn option: Pour into a shallow freezer safe container and freeze for 1 hour, then beat with a whisk to break up ice crystals. Repeat this process 3 more times, then leave to freeze for 2 hours before serving.
