What can be more refreshing then a serving of homemade sorbet as an afternoon snack or a dessert? This is a very simple sorbet, basically, it's just frozen water or juice with some fruit and in my case, it's lychee and lemon with a sprinkling of freshly ground kaffir leaves. The kaffir leaves are not only fragrant but the tiny dots of green just help to make the sorbet more attractive and pretty.
