Today, we’re taking you on a sensory journey through the taste and perfume of our region, Calabria. This refreshing citrus sorbet brings together the bold flavor of bergamot, the sweetness of orange, and a floral hint of lavender and mint. It’s incredibly simple to make, no ice cream maker needed!
All you need is fresh-squeezed bergamot and orange juice, a bit of natural syrup, and a sprinkle of springtime.
Ingredients
Simple steps, quality ingredients that’s all it takes. In particular:
- Bergamot Juice or the juice of one orange
- (or more, depending on taste)
- Fresh mint leaves
- Dried or fresh lavender flowers
- Natural sweetener of your choice
- (we love acacia honey or agave syrup for a clean, floral note)
Instructions
- Juice the orange and bergamot, and pour the juices into separate ice cube trays.
- Freeze until solid.
- Once frozen, blend the citrus cubes with your preferred syrup, a few mint leaves, and a sprinkle of lavender.
- Serve immediately in glass bowls or cups. Garnish with fresh mint and a few lavender petals for a beautiful, aromatic presentation.
Tip: Add a little extra fresh juice if you prefer a softer texture.
For an even bolder flavor, try making it with pure bergamot juice only, just make sure it’s the real deal from Reggio Calabria!
