935- Orange and Lemon Sorbet / سوربيه بالبرتقال و الليمون

Ingredients :

For the orange sorbet:
300ml (1 1/2 cups) freshly squeezed orange juice
100ml (1/2 cup) freshly squeezed lemon juice
Zest of one orange
100g (1/2 cup) sugar
150ml (2/3 cups) water

For the lemon sorbet :
200ml (1 cup) freshly squeezed lemon juice
Zest of one lemon
120g (2/3 cup) sugar
150ml (2/3 cups) water

For serving (Optional):
Hallowed oranges and lemons, frozen

Directions :

1- Place the sugar and water in a pan over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes until the sugar has dissolved then turn off the heat.
2- Add the orange/lemon zest and set aside to cool.
3- Once the syrup has cooled down, strain it to remove the orange/lemon zest.
4- Add the orange/lemon juice and stir to combine, then pour the mixture into a plastic container. Place the container in the freezer for at least 6 hours.
5- Scrape the sorbet with a fork to break it into small pieces. For a granita style sorbet, serve the sorbet immediately. For a sorbet with a smoother consistency, place the sorbet in a blender and pulse 2 to 3 times, then fill the hallowed oranges and lemons. Place the oranges and lemons back in the freezer for an hour before serving.
