Why It Works
The combination of frozen fruit, honey or maple syrup, lemon juice, and water creates a smooth and flavorful sorbet.
Freezing the sorbet for at least 4 hours allows the flavors to meld and the sorbet to develop a firm texture.
Scooping and serving the sorbet immediately after freezing ensures that it is at its best flavor and texture.
