Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.
2
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, basil leaves, and lemon zest. Let the mixture steep for 10-15 minutes, or until the basil flavor is pronounced.
3
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
4
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
5
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
6
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
