Strawberry-mint sorbet
For this strawberry and mint-flavoured sorbet, we will be using an unusual method: blending the strawberries with mint leaves.
This mixture is then left overnight for the flavours to mingle before being strained and then churned.
This makes a delicious sorbet with its full-on strawberry flavour boosted by a definite mintiness.

Hull 3 cups + 2 tablespoons strawberries (remove the green calyx and any hard bit underneath) and put into a high-sided container.
Stage 2 - 2 min.
Stage 3 - 1 min.

There should only be the strawberry seeds left in the sieve.
