It's cold outside...

...but despite the vile weather, I have an urge to make sorbet. This is probably because I've had a horrible throat bug since Whitby and I've almost exhausted my current supply.

To be fair, that's not as significant as it sounds: the only thing left in the freezer was a bit of mint sorbet that needed eating soon anyway. Not my finest attempt - too much sugar and not enough mint - but it certainly helped soothe my throat for a little while.

I've been meaning to try rosemary sorbet for a while and the 'green ginger' rosemary in my garden is thriving and might add an interesting gingery twist. Hmm.

Has anyone else been dabbling in ice cream or sorbet making this year?

Funnily enough I was telling a workmate about this recipe today, as she's doing a dinner party tomorrow and wasn't sure what to make for dessert:

I've done g&t sorbet before and can heartily recommend it. Although, er, the version I made had no lime and twice as much gin to tonic as that BBC recipe. *ahem*

Plymouth gin seems to work a treat - I used fever tree for the tonic water.

Fevertree is the best. I'm a bit bored of G&T at the moment though - I had some Bloom gin recently which was very nice with rose lemonade.

Have you tried Hendricks gin? It's excellent in a G&T with cucumber instead of lime in it.
