Step 1
Begin by pouring 1 cup of cold water into a saucepan, then add sugar and fresh mint leaves if you desire a hint of herbal freshness.
Step 2
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it reaches a gentle boil and the sugar has completely dissolved, which should take about 5 minutes.

Once the syrup is ready, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vibrant lemon zest, allowing the syrup to cool for around 10 minutes.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups of cold water, fresh lemon juice, and limoncello liqueur with the cooled syrup, creating a refreshing blend.
Step 5
Pour this delightful mixture into your ice cream maker and churn it according to the manufacturer's guidelines, usually for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Finally, transfer the luscious sorbet into a container and let it freeze until it reaches a firm consistency, which will take approximately 6 hours.
