  1. Wash and squeeze the lemons. You will need about 125 ml (½ cup) of juice. Of course, it depends on the size of the lemons. About three lemons should be fine.
  2. Strain the juice through a strainer to remove any seeds or peels.
  3. Pour the strained juice into a larger container. Add the sugar to the lemon juice and stir.
  4. Then add the heavy cream and finally the whole milk. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  1. Wash and squeeze the lemons. Strain the juice through a strainer to remove any seeds or peels.
  2. Pour the juice into a larger bowl. Add the sugar and stir. Then add the very cold whole milk. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Whip the cream with the help of a stand mixer or an electric whisk.
  4. Then add the milk and lemon mixture and stir gently from bottom to top to combine. Pour the mixture into a gelato container and place it in the freezer for about 5 hours. Every 30 minutes you have to break the frozen surface. So remove from the freezer and mix for about 30 seconds using a hand whisk or an electric whisk on low speed.
