Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a saucepan, combine 2 cups water and 1 cup granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. Step 2: Add 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves to the hot syrup, cover, and steep for 15 minutes until fragrant. Strain out the mint leaves.
  3. Step 3: Stir 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 2 tbsp corn syrup into the cooled mint syrup.
  4. Step 4: Pour mixture into a shallow metal pan and freeze for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes with a fork to break up ice crystals.
  5. Step 5: For the syrup, simmer 1 cup blueberries with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water for 10 minutes until softened. Mash and strain to extract juice.
  6. Step 6: Just before serving, mix blueberry juice with 1/2 cup sparkling water to create a fizzy syrup.
  7. Step 7: Scoop sorbet into bowls and drizzle with sparkling blueberry syrup for a chilled, refreshing dessert.
