Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Orange Sherbet
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine freshly squeezed orange juice, granulated sugar, orange zest, kosher salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously for about 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Slowly add the milk and heavy whipping cream to the bowl, whisking gently to create a smooth blend. Continue mixing for another 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour the creamy mixture into your ice cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions to churn for 20-25 minutes until reaching soft-serve consistency.
  4. Transfer the churned Orange Sherbet into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top and covering it tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours.
  5. Once the Orange Sherbet is fully frozen, scoop it with a warm ice cream scoop and serve in chilled bowls, optionally garnishing with fresh mint or orange slices.
