Lemon Verbena Sorbet

1 C. fresh lemon verbena leaves, gently packed

1 C. sugar

1/4 C. freshly squeezed lemon juice

3 C. ice water

 

In a food processor, puree the verbena leaves and the sugar until a paste begins to form, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed (this took me about 1 minute). Add the lemon juice and process for 15-30 seconds more, until the mixture looks like wet green sand. In another bowl, combine the mixture and the ice water, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, then pass through a fine mesh strainer to remove any bits of verbena. Pour into your ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s directions.
