Another adventure in Smoothie-licious, this time combining two of my favorite summer cooking staples: lemon and basil. Really, can these two do any wrong? I think not. The perfect compliment of bright and fresh flavors, along with some sweetness from fat-free sorbet. This recipe makes one just-right size serving.
1/2 cup lemon sorbet
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
6 medium to large basil leaves, torn
2-3 ice cubes
Combine sorbet, milk, lemon zest, juice and basil in a blender. Puree until smooth and add ice cubes for desired thickness. Pour into a chilled glass and top with addition lemon zest, a sprig of basil, and lemon wedge if desired.
Sit back, relax, and sip.
