Lemon Sherbet

The other day I was craving some kind of dessert, but had no packaged ones and of course I was low on ingredients.  So I scrounged around in my small college apartment and found enough to make lemon sherbet!  I'm usually a chocolate girl myself, but hey I rarely say no to dessert.
3 cups whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 lemon
6 TBLS freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 2-3 lemons)

In a medium, nonreactive saucepan, mix 1 cup milk with the sugar.  
Grate the zest of the lemon directly into the saucepan.  
Heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and add the remaining 2 cups milk, then chill thoroughly in the refrigerator.
Stir the lemon juice into the milk mixture.
If it curdles a bit, whisk it vigorously to make it smooth again.
Freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instruction.


Side note... I wrote this post a long time ago and never posted it.  Now my pantry and fridge is full of things like pumpkin not lemon.  Still yummy though.
