eat: lemon buttermilk sorbet

every summer my stepmother, terri makes the most delicious ice creams + sorbets. one that i love + crave in particular is her lemon buttermilk sorbet. creamy, sweet + tangy i think it is the best compliment to any summer meal.

my roommate + i love this sorbet so much we make it every week! i even have to fight her from sipping the mix from the bowl before it is done!!
