Watermelon Sorbet Recipe

Hi Gardening and Wellness Friends 👋🏼

I hope you’re staying cool and hydrated in your summer gardens. This time of year, the humidity and heat can make it challenging to get out in our gardens. One of my favorite things to make from the garden that keeps me cool is this watermelon sorbet. It’s so easy, doesn’t require a lot of time and provides a fun way to keep hydrated.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 4 cups watermelon cut into cubes

• 2–3 tablespoons lime juice

• ¼ to ½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)

  I use honey (I take 1/3 cup honey and mix it with 2 tablespoons of boiling water and mix together)

• Optional: fresh mint

How to make:

• Cut the watermelon into cubes and remove any seeds

• Freeze the cubes on a baking sheet for at least 2–4 hours

• Put the frozen watermelon into a blender

• Add lime juice and sugar OR honey mixture

• Add the optional mint

• Blend until smooth (if it’s too thick add a little water to thin)

• Taste and adjust lime/sugar/honey to your liking

• Eat immediately for a soft serve OR freeze for 1-2 hours for scoopable sorbet. Freezing longer will cause the sorbet to become like an ice block

• Optional: sprinkle good quality sea salt on top to add electrolytes to the sorbet

I hope this recipe inspires you to make a sweet hydrating treat from your garden.

Until next time…..

🌿To our health and the health of our gardens🌿
