Tips for the Perfect Sorbet
- Raspberry Ripeness: Use ripe raspberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness. If using frozen raspberries, let them thaw slightly before blending.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the amount of honey or agave based on your preference and the tartness of your raspberries.
- Smooth Texture: Straining the mixture ensures a smoother sorbet, but you can skip this step if you don’t mind the seeds.
- Add-Ins: Mix in some fresh mint leaves or a splash of coconut milk for an extra twist.
Fun Variations to Try
- Mixed Berry: Add strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries for a mixed berry sorbet.
- Tropical Twist: Add a splash of pineapple or mango juice for a tropical flavor boost.
- Herbal Infusion: Blend in a few fresh basil or mint leaves for a refreshing herbal twist.
Storing Your Sorbet
- Freeze Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Before serving again, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften.
