Ginger shot sorbet
By: 
 
Turning your favourite ginger shot-mix (home made or store-bought) into a sorbet is a breeze: when you have your shot mix ready, just add sugar to get to the "sweet spot" for sorbets. How? Grab a fresh egg to help you measure, and you should be set in no time!
Ingredients
  • About 700 ml (about 3 cups) ginger shot-mix (store-bought or home-made)
  • Added sugar, enough to satisfy the Egg test
  • Optional: substitute some of the extra sugar with corn- or glucose syrup.
Ingredients for home made ginger shots (Note: makes more than 700 ml!)
  • about 500 ml (about 2 cups) water
  • about 250-300 gram ginger root (1-2 moderately big knobs: the more you use, the stronger the punch)
  • 400 ml (about 1.7 cup) apple juice
  • Juice of 1-2 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
Instructions
  1. Take your ginger shot mix, add sugar enough to satisfy the so-called Egg test (see the post) and your base is ready!
  2. Churn the base in your ice cream machine or still-freeze in your household freezer.
Instructions for making your own ginger shot mix
  1. Peel the ginger and cut it in slices.
  2. Run the slices in a mixer together with the water.
  3. Sieve the ginger-mix, making sure to press the paste, and check how much liquid you finally get: now add an equal amount of apple juice, plus the honey and the lemon juice. Mix well!
  4. Store in a well-cleaned bottle, and keep your ginger shots in the fridge.
Notes
Quick recap of the Egg test: Take a clean and fresh (uncooked) egg, drop it in your sorbet base and check much of the egg is showing up above the surface once it has resurfaced. If the egg remains submerged, or if less than about a scant 2½ cm (about the size of a US quarter) is showing above the surface, add more sugar. Likewise, if more than 2½ cm is showing up, add more juice, fruit puree or water to the mixture.

When the “ideal” 2½ cm elevation is achieved, your base has reached the ideal sugary sweet spot for sorbets!
