This luscious, tart, and super delicious Lavender Lemon Sorbet is a perfect dessert for a hot summer day.
Hello, everyone! How are you doing? Did you miss me? Did you even notice I didn’t post any recipes last week? Yup, it was a super short week for me (Last Monday was a provincial holiday while on Friday I had my extra day off), so I decided to take it easy and relax for a week.
But I am back now (With this tasty Lavender Lemon Sorbet), and I hope you like it. Actually, I was hoping my little break from blogging would allow me to gain some inspiration and motivation. I was wrong! It’s so hard to get back on track after vacation, right? But I am a very responsible person, and I know it might be rather hot around your place, and you’re waiting for something refreshing.
This Lavender Lemon Sorbet is an excellent solution! Luscious, sweet, with the subtle notes of lavender and honey, it is a perfect way to cool down when it’s hot. My sorbet recipes are usually relatively healthy (Mostly, the fruit puree, water, and just a bit of sugar); however, since lemon juice isn’t the same as fruit pure, this sorbet calls for a large amount of sugar. Also, it requires making a simple lavender-infused syrup. And while it’s optional, I recommend adding some honey too. It helps Lavender Lemon Sorbet being smooth and less icy; it also enhances the flavour.
All right, I think this is a long enough after-vacation post, so I can wrap it up. Please enjoy your summertime and try this Lavender Lemon Sorbet, too!
Cheers.
Hi – I’m Ben, a blogger, recipe developer, and food photographer. I’m glad you’re here! I hope you will enjoy hundreds of delicious recipes and a pinch of havoc in the kitchen.
Ben! The only reason I didn’t miss you last week was that I took the week off, too! I get it that it’s tough to get back in the swing. I’ll let you know if I can get back in the swing. But this lemon lavender sorbet looks so tasty and refreshing, the perfect treat for these hot days! Hope your “time off” was wonderful!
As lemon sorbet is absolutely delicious, I can only imagine how even more delicious this sorbet is with the addition of the lavender!! Hope you had an amazing break Ben. It’s always nice to take time off when you’re a blogger. I’m looking forward to some time off myself. I just haven’t decided when yet!
I did miss you! And I’m glad you’re back with something lavender–but what else would I expect :)? Hope you had a fabulous little break and also hope that you saved a bit of this for me!
How gorgeous and refreshing-looking. I’m glad you have a nice vacation!
I’ve made many a no-churn ice cream, but never sorbet before! I love the lavender and lemon combo, I can imagine how light and refreshing it would taste! PS – it is TOUGH getting back into things after a vacation!!
I totally hear ya about getting back into the swing of things after vacation…it’s so hard to do! However, once you get back into the regular routine, it just falls back into place. I see that you discovered lavender again with this recipe – I’ve been wondering what happened to all of your lavender! The flavor combination here sounds quite tasty, my friend. You know me and lavender, but I must admit the honey + lemon + lavender in frozen form sounds like a nice summer dessert!
