Watermelon sorbet is an incredibly refreshing icy dessert made out of just 3 ingredients.
It is fruity, fresh, light, sweet and just so easy to make.. :) This sorbet is the perfect treat for a hot summer's day !
Sorbet is the French equivalent of British Ice water and is a semi-frozen sugar syrup flavored with fruit puree.

Watermelon is my favorite summertime fruit and so i decided to make a lemony watermelon sorbet for this weekend. :D
i hope you like this recipe. :)
