Lemon sorbet is a cold and refreshing dessert, perfect for summer. It is one of the most classic and beloved desserts in Italy, thanks to its fresh and tart flavor. Preparing it is simple and requires few ingredients: juicy lemons, water, sugar, and egg white.

Squeeze the lemons and collect the juice in a measuring jug, passing it through a strainer, and add enough water to reach a total liquid amount of three-quarters
Pour this lemonade into a saucepan and add the grated zest of one lemon (you can use one of the already squeezed lemons or another) and the sugar
Crack the egg, separating the yolk from the white; beat the white until stiff and add it to the other ingredients
Transfer the saucepan to the heat and bring the liquid to the point of boiling, stirring continuously and keeping the flame low; as soon as it starts to bubble on the surface, remove it from the heat, pour it into a bowl filtering it through a strainer, and let it cool completely
Then transfer it to the ice cream maker's container and put it right into the freezer to freeze according to your machine's instructions
After the necessary time, you can serve the sorbet plain in individual cups after dividing it into scoops with the appropriate utensil, or use it in other preparations that require its use; one of the most typical is 'lemon cut with seltz'
To prepare it, fill the cups about halfway with the lemon sorbet and then spray with seltz to the brim
