If you’re looking for the most refreshing frozen treat, this sorbet is brrrrilliant! Our homemade version (unlike most store-bought ones) is made with lemons, sugar and water—that’s it. Serve it as a fresh addition to any dessert, or why not bring back the French mid-meal palate cleanser called a trou normand: a little scoop with a splash of your favourite vodka or whisky!
