Ingredients:

180g sugar
650ml water
1/2 cup fresh herbs (mint, sweet cicely, common mallow, tarragon etc), crushed
juice of 7 lemons

Method:

Once you have juiced the lemons, carefully remove the flesh and keep the skins to make the bowls for serving the sorbet.

Add the sugar and water to a pan and bring to a boil. Remove from the pan and add the crushed herbs to seep. Leave aside until the mixture cools to room temperature. Then strain the mixture, add the lemon juice and chill for 2 hours. Place in an ice cream maker and allow to form a sorbet, according to the manufacturer's instructions.

To serve, allow the sorbet to warm a little, spoon into the empty lemon skins, pace in a wine glass and serve.
