Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves, then simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
  2. Step 2: Stir cooled syrup into lemon juice and mint leaves. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to infuse.
  3. Step 3: Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on mint to extract liquid. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes until thickened, or freeze in a shallow dish, stirring every 30 minutes for 3 hours until firm.
