Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup spearmint leaves roughly chopped
- 3 cups raspberries fresh
- ¼ cup lemon juice from about 2 lemons, freshly squeezed
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the water, sugar, and mint. Whisk occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and remove from heat before the mixture starts to boil. Cover the pan and allow the mixture to steep at room temperature for 30 minutes. Once at room temperature, chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator.
- In a blender or food processor, puree the raspberries and the lemon juice until smooth. Strain ¾ of the raspberry puree through a mesh sieve, pressing down on the raspberries to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the seeds. Combine the strained and unstrained purees and chill in the refrigerator.
- Once the mint syrup is thoroughly chilled, strain through a mesh sieve and discard the contents of the sieve. Combine the strained mint syrup and the raspberry puree in a medium bowl. Pour the raspberry and mint mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Notes
- If the sorbet becomes too firm, let it soften briefly at room temperature before serving.
- Store sorbet in an airtight, freezer-safe container to prevent freezer burn.
- Maintain freezer temperature at 0°F (-18°C) for best texture retention.
- For optimal freshness and flavor, consume the sorbet within three months of freezing.
