    Add sugar to the infusion, return to medium heat and stir until sugar is completely dissolved.

  • Step 3

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer lemon peel to a bowl and set aside. Stir powdered milk and pectin into infusion and boil for 3 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Remove saucepan from heat and stir in lime and lemon juices. Allow to cool slightly, then pour sorbet base into the tub and place in an ice bath.
