Ingredients
- 250 g water
- 300 g white sugar
- 60 ml gin
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, about half a lemon
- 450 ml tonic water
- 1 small egg white, note 1
Instructions
- Start making the sugar syrup: Add the water and sugar to the Thermomix bowl and heat for 5 min/100°C/speed 2 until the sugar has fully dissolved.
- Pour the sugar syrup into a large freezer-proof container with a capacity of at least 1 litre. Cool on the benchtop, then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, add the gin, lemon juice, and tonic water and stir well. Cover and freeze for 6 hours. The sorbet will be semi-frozen and slushy.
- Transfer the semi-frozen mixture to the Thermomix bowl. Add the egg white and blend for 15 sec/speed 9 until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mixture back into the container, cover, and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight, until firm enough to scoop.
- Decorate with strips of lemon or lime zest before serving (optional).
Notes
Egg white: Egg white is optional and helps create a lighter, fluffier texture when the sorbet is mixed.
Storage: The sorbet can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Thanks to the gin and sugar syrup, it remains soft enough to scoop straight from the freezer.
