  • 7-10 Tbsp Gin to refill
  • 7-10 Tbsp Lemon balm

Directions

  1. 1

    Let it cool down.

    Beat egg whites until stiff. Stir in the sugar syrup and lime juice. Pour into a bowl, place in the freezer and let it freeze for about 1 hour. Then stir well and freeze for another 2 hours.

  4. 4

    Stir vigorously every 30 minutes (preferably with a whisk).

  5. 5

    Cut 4 large balls from the sorbet mass with an ice-ball scoop and divide them between four glasses. Fill up with gin. Decorate with lemon balm and serve immediately.
