Ingredients for the thyme syrup:
- 200 ml of water
- 100 g of sugar

Preparation of thyme syrup:
- Prepare the thyme syrup.
In a small saucepan, heat the water and sugar over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the fresh thyme sprigs and let it infuse over low heat for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, let it cool, then strain the syrup to remove the thyme sprigs. You'll have a lightly flavored syrup, perfect for sorbet. Find my complete recipe here.
Preparing the sorbet:
- Blend the ingredients.
In a blender, combine the fresh lemon juice, thyme syrup, water, agave syrup, and a pinch of salt. Blend well until smooth. - Pour into the Ninja Creami container.
Transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami container, being careful not to exceed the MAX FILL . Then place the container in the freezer for 24 hours . - Churn with the Sorbet program.
Once the mixture is completely frozen, insert the container into the Ninja Creami and use the "Sorbet" . In just a few minutes, you'll have a fresh and deliciously thyme-flavored sorbet. - Respin Tip:
If the texture is too firm, use the "Respin" and add approximately 30 ml of water to adjust the consistency.
My Personal Tip:
This lemon-thyme sorbet is perfect to accompany a fruit dessert, but you can also serve it on its own with a drizzle of honey or a few lemon zest shavings to enhance the flavor. If you want to impress your guests, add a small sprig of fresh thyme for garnish!
This lemon-thyme sorbet is a delightful alternative to classic sorbets, with the unique aroma of thyme perfectly complementing the tartness of lemon. Thanks to Ninja Creami, you'll achieve a smooth and refreshing texture, perfect for lovers of herbaceous and fruity flavors.
