- 2 cups fresh orange juice about 4-5 oranges
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional
In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, then remove from heat and let cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled sugar syrup with the fresh orange juice and lemon juice (if using).
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or a freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer.
After about 1 hour, use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture to break up the ice crystals. Repeat this every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours until the sorbet reaches a slushy, icy texture.
Scoop into bowls or cups and serve.
