Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 500 ml water and 150 g granulated sugar. Add 6 whole plumeria flowers and gently bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Maintain a low simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the floral essence.
  2. Step 2: Remove from heat and let the plumeria flowers steep in the syrup for 15 minutes to intensify the fragrance.
  3. Step 3: Strain out the plumeria flowers through a fine mesh sieve and discard them.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 10 chopped fresh mint leaves into the cooled syrup.
  5. Step 5: Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a smooth sorbet texture, about 25 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Transfer the sorbet to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with extra mint leaves if desired.
