While there isn’t a specific “National Sorbet Day,” sorbet is often celebrated as part of National Ice Cream Month,July, and National Ice Cream Day, the third Sunday of July. Sorbet, a dairy-free frozen dessert made with fruit and sugar, is a popular refreshing treat.

3. Add lavender and carefully mix through with wooden spoon.
4. Empty the mixture into a container and put back into the freezer for a few hours to set.
5. When the sorbet is ready, scoop with an ice-cream scoop, top with fresh fruit. Enjoy
