  • About

The Moors introduced ices to Andalucía a thousand years ago. Eating this smooth, tangy sorbet, you can imagine yourself in a palace like the one at Granada, lounging on silken cushions, with the stars above, nightingales singing and the fountains tinkling.

Ingredients

  • 200 g/7 oz/1 cup caster (superfine) sugar
  • 300

Method

  1. Put the sugar and water into a heavy pan and bring slowly to the boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has just dissolved.
  2. Using a swivel vegetable peeler, pare the rind thinly from two of the lemons directly into the pan. Simmer for about 2 minutes without stirring, then remove the pan from the heat. Leave the syrup to cool, then chill.
