- Squeeze and sieve the lemons, then pour the juice into the cooledsyrup.
- Stir well, then taste to test that the mixture has enough lemon, asthe juice produced by lemons vary, and you might possibly need onemore.
- Pour the mixture into a container and transfer it to the freezer.
- Every hour or so, beat the mixture well to ensure that it doesn’tform large ice crystals.
- Quickly return the container to the freezer after each mix. Thisprocedure should be followed over several hours.
- When the mixture looks as though it’s beginning to set, whisk the eggwhite until stiff, then carefully fold it into the setting sorbet.Use a cutting motion as you fold it in, rather than whisking, so as notto lose too much air.
- Return to the freezer again and leave until the mixture is completelysolid.
