Mint And Rosewater Sorbet Recipes

Steps:

• Stir sugar, water and mint together in a 2 1/2-quart souffle dish. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent in a high-power oven for 3 minutes. Stir thoroughly, making sure there are no grains on the bottom of the dish. Cover with a lid or microwave plastic wrap. Cook for 6 minutes. Prick plastic, if used, to release steam.
• Remove from oven and uncover. Let cool. Strain through a fine sieve. Refrigerate until cold, several hours or overnight.
• Whisk lemon juice into syrup. Place in an ice-cream machine and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan combine sugar with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer a few minutes until syrupy. Remove from heat, add rose water, and allow to cool.
• Add rice noodles to syrup. Transfer to shallow container and freeze for 30 minutes. Stir and return to freezer. Stir again every 15 minutes until slushy-firm. To serve, scoop into small bowls. Top with about a teaspoon of lemon juice and a tablespoon of sour cherry syrup. Garnish with mint leaves and candied rose petals.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and lime zest over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring. Reduce the heat to low and stir until the sugar has dissolved completely. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Put the frozen mango chunks in a food processor with the ice, wine, rose water, and the cooled lime syrup. Process for 2 to 3 minutes until the ice has broken down and the sorbet thickens. When done, the sorbet will have a slushy consistency. Transfer the food processor bowl to the freezer to harden the sorbet fully, about 1 hour. Store in a covered airtight container. Use within 1 month. To serve, spoon into martini glasses and garnish with mint.

Steps:

• Bring 2 quarts water to a boil in a large pot; prepare an ice-water bath and set aside. Add mint leaves to boiling water for about 30 seconds; drain and immediately transfer mint to ice-water bath. Drain and squeeze out excess water.
• Transfer mint leaves to the jar of a blender along with simple syrup; puree until smooth. Add more simple syrup, if desired.
• Transfer mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Keep frozen in an airtight container until ready to use, up to 3 days.
