Instructions

Make the Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely to make a simple syrup.
Prepare the Sorbet Mixture: Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature. Stir in lemon juice and lemon zest.
Churn the Sorbet: Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20–25 minutes, until it reaches a smooth, sorbet-like consistency.
Freeze and Serve: Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, add a splash of limoncello or substitute half of the water with sparkling water.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish, freeze, and stir vigorously every 30 minutes until smooth.
