Strawberry Lemon Sorbet Cups

Directions

  In a pot on high heat, bring water and sugar to boil. Add lemon zest and let steep. Once you've created simple syrup, remove from heat.

  While the sorbet churns, prepare the lemon cups by slicing a thin layer off the bottom of the lemon. This will help your lemon cups sit upright. Slice the other end of the lemon at approximately 1/4 from the top. With a spoon, remove pulp and seeds to create a hallowed lemon shell.
