Cucumber Sorbet

A refreshing and light sorbet made with fresh cucumbers, perfect for hot summer days. The combination of cucumber and lime creates a zesty and cooling treat.

Ingredients:

• 2 large cucumbers, peeled and chopped
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/4 cup water

Instructions:

In a blender, blend the chopped cucumbers until smooth

Strain the cucumber puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any solids

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat

Stir until the sugar dissolves completely to create a simple syrup

Remove the simple syrup from heat and let it cool to room temperature

Once the simple syrup has cooled, mix it with the strained cucumber puree and lime juice

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturers instructions until it reaches a sorbet consistency

Transfer the sorbet to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm

Serve the cucumber sorbet scoops garnished with cucumber slices or mint leaves, if desired
