DO NOT EAT THE SAME DAY THAT YOU MAKE IT! The mint flavor is way too strong and it seems to mellow down after it sits in the freezer for a day or two. I love the combination of the pomegranate and orange juices, but the mint is just a little too overpowering. It's Pomegranate & Mint Sorbet, not Mint Sorbet. Next time I make it I will try using 1/2 cup of mint and see how that goes.

I made this without an ice cream maker. I stirred every thirty minutes for the first couple hours. This turned out awesome!!!!! My husband and I LOVED it! I did not find the mint to be overpowering at all. I thought it was a perfect blend of flavors!
