The first time I made this Citrus Burst Sorbet was during a heatwave when everyone in the house was melting and begging for something cold. I didn’t want to hand out sugar-loaded popsicles, so I threw together fresh citrus, a touch of honey, and ice in the blender. The result? A frosty, zesty treat that tastes like a spoonful of sunshine! It’s now our go-to “cool-down” dessert that even my picky eater asks for again and again.

Citrus Burst Sorbet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 orange, peeled and segmented

• 1 grapefruit, peeled and segmented (white pith removed)

• 1 lemon, peeled and seeded

• 2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

• 1/2 cup water or coconut water

• 2 cups ice

• Optional: fresh mint or citrus zest for topping

Instructions:

1. Prep the Fruit
   Peel, segment, and remove any seeds or white pith from your citrus. You want the flesh only for the smoothest texture.

2. Blend It All
   Add citrus, honey/maple syrup, water, and ice to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and slushy, scraping down the sides as needed.

3. Adjust Consistency
   If it’s too thick, add a splash more water. Too thin? Add more ice.

4. Serve Immediately
   Scoop into bowls or glasses, garnish with fresh mint or citrus zest, and enjoy right away for the best texture.

Sarah’s Tips 🍋

• Want a more intense flavor? Freeze the citrus segments ahead of time and skip the ice.

• Add a pinch of sea salt to make the flavors pop!

• You can also freeze leftovers in popsicle molds for later.
