To enjoy this sorbet, simply remove it from the freezer a few minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly. This makes it easier to scoop and enhances its texture. It can be served in small bowls or glasses. For a more elaborate presentation, consider garnishing with a fresh mint sprig or a few berries. It is also excellent when blended with other fruits or a touch of liquid to create a refreshing drink. Its bright flavor makes it a good addition to light desserts.
