How to make Blood Orange Basil Mint Sorbet

- Add the lemon juice and strain into a bowl. Chill completely.
- Stir in the liqueur and freeze mixture in your ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Once the sorbet is frozen, transfer to 1-quart container and store tightly sealed in the freezer for a few hours until firm.
Makes approximately 1 quart.
*The liqueur can be omitted from the recipe, if desired, but it is recommended to keep the sorbet from getting too hard and icy.
