I agree with the other comments about the sugar, it's sweet. The 2nd time I made this sorbet I used 1 3/4 cups of sugar, let the basil/mint leaves steep for 6 minutes to boost the flavor and added extra lemon zest and 1Tbsp juice. It was well received both times, but my husband & I enjoyed it more with the changes.

I absolutely loved this sorbet! The flavor combo of basil, mint and lemon are wonderful. It is very sweet, but I am a fan of sugar! We served this as the palate cleanser at a Greek dinner I helped with and it was a superb complement to the meal.

I thought that it was really good i added extra lemon juice so it cut some of that sugar.

I was looking for something as a light summer dessert and found this recipe. It takes advantage of the fresh flavors of summer -- basil and mint. I would just say that it is quite sweet, so next time, I will cut the sugar by about half and increase the lemon juice a bit for a little more citrus flavor. Even my husband, who loves sweet, said it is too much. I will definitely make it again, though, because the freshness and lightness of it is quite good.
