Preparation:
Scrub the lemon well, and remove the thin outer zest with a potato peeler or sharp knife. Boil water, sugar and lemon rind for 5-10 minutes. Add lemon juice and strain the mixture. Cool the sugar syrup and season to taste with Aquavit. Freeze lightly. Beat egg white lightly and stir it into the partially frozen sorbet. Freeze completely. Stir the sorbet well before serving. Sprinkle with toasted almond slivers and serve macaroon bars on the side. |
