Ingredients :
Time to make ice cream: 30 min - 3 hours depending on what maker you use

600g strawberries with a strong flavour
350g castor sugar
½ lemon
8 leaves fresh mint

 
Recipe :
Put the sugar in a pan and add 450ml water.

Heat over a high heat until the sugar dissolves and boil until syrupy (5-7 minutes). Leave to cool.

Wash, dry, de-stalk and blend the strawberries with the syrup, lemon juice and chopped mint, keeping a few leaves aside for the garnish.

Place in a large watertight container and freeze.

Take out of the freezer and refrigerate an hour before serving, cutting the sorbet into 8 cubes using a knife dipped in warm water.

Place 1 cube on each plate and decorate with pieces of strawberry and mint.
