1

Prep the Beetroot

Start by peeling and cubing the beetroot. You'll need about 2 medium-sized beetroots for this recipe. Make sure to wash them thoroughly before peeling to get rid of any dirt or impurities.

2

Cook the Beetroot

Place the cubed beetroot in a saucepan and cover it with water. Bring it to a boil and let it cook for about 15 minutes or until the beetroot is tender. Once cooked, drain the water and let the beetroot cool down.

3

Blend it Up

Transfer the cooked beetroot cubes into a blender or food processor. Add 1/2 cup of water and blend until you get a smooth puree. If needed, you can add more water to achieve the desired consistency.

4

Sweeten the Sorbet

Pour the beetroot puree into a mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup of sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more or less sugar.

5

Add a Zesty Twist

Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into the mixing bowl with the beetroot puree. The lemon juice will add a tangy and refreshing twist to the sorbet, balancing out the sweetness of the beetroot.

6

Chill and Freeze

Cover the mixing bowl with cling wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill. Once chilled, transfer the sorbet mixture into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions to freeze it into a sorbet consistency. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can use a shallow dish and freeze the mixture, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches a sorbet-like texture.

7

Serve and Enjoy

Scoop the beetroot sorbet into serving bowls or cones. You can garnish it with some fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of lemon zest for an extra touch. Now, sit back, relax, and indulge in this guilt-free and naturally sweet treat!
