Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice.

The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

A mixture of mint leaves, kosher salt, lemon juice, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so flavorful. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free, dairy free, lacto ovo vegetarian, and fodmap friendly diet. With a spoonacular score of 14%, this dish is rather bad. Lemon-Mint Sorbet, Papaya-Mint Sorbet, and Pomegranate and Mint Sorbet are very similar to this recipe.

Cream Sherry, Port Wine, and Moscato d'Asti are great choices for Sorbet. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry

Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "

Instructions

Pour the water, sugar and lemon zest into a pot over medium high heat until the sugar has completely dissolved, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, stir in the mint and set aside. As the simple syrup steeps, whisk together the lemon juice, limoncello and salt. Pour into the minted simple syrup and allow to cool completely. Chill for at least 3 hours, but preferably overnight. Once the liquid has chilled, pour it into the frozen base of your ice cream maker, cover with the lid and churn for 20-30 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Put the base into the freezer for another hour or two to harden as desired.
