Warning: You will need an ice cream maker. But if you have one and never use it, this is the easiest, most delicious thing.
A few years ago I received an ice cream maker as a birthday gift from some friends. It had been a dream of mine to fill my freezer with all kinds of homemade ice creams and sorbets for dinner parties and general day-to-day life. Of course that never happened, but I did discover this amazing sorbet and it's been my recipe of the summer. The actual work is probably about 20 minutes — the waiting's the harder part (4 hours + freezing). One tip: I always buy 5 lemons so I don't have to stress about not having enough juice. I also reduce the sugar to 1.5 cups and it's plenty sweet. —Amanda Niu, 29, Operations Manager, Kickstarter, New York, NY
You will need:

Zest the lemons BEFORE you slice them for the juice.
