03 — Method
- Zest the 4 lemons finely, avoiding the bitter white pith.
- Bring the water and sugar to a simmer in a saucepan, stirring until dissolved.
- Off the heat, add the zest and 10 chopped mint leaves. Cover and steep for 20 minutes.
- Strain the syrup into a bowl and add the juice of the 4 lemons and the pinch of flaky salt.
- Pour into the rectangular dish (a 2 cm / ¾ in layer), cover with plastic wrap and freeze.
- Every 45 minutes for 4 hours, scrape with a fork to form light crystals.
- Whisk once more just before serving and spoon into chilled glasses with the remaining mint.
