Description

This lemon basil sorbet is an absolute blast for hot days! The combination of the acidity of the lemon and the fresh aroma of the basil is simply unbeatable. I really like to make it when I have guests because it is so refreshing and light. The preparation is super easy and quick with the Thermomix®. The sorbet is perfect as a dessert or just in between. A little tip: If you like it a little creamier, you can add a shot of vodka. But even without it, it's a poem!
