Although there is no firmly defined difference between a sherbet and a sorbet, sherbet often is made with dairy or egg whites. I use yogurt in this one to add a tanginess that complements the lemony herb.</p>
<p>• 2 cups lemon verbena leaves, lightly packed 2 cups whole-milk yogurt<br />
• 1½ cups fine sugar 1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice<br />
• 1½ cups water</p>
<p>1. Puree lemon verbena, sugar and water in blender on high speed.<br />
<br />
2. Whisk together yogurt and lemon juice in a mixing bowl.<br />
<br />
3. Strain lemon verbena syrup through a fine sieve into yogurt; whisk until smooth. Freeze immediately in ice cream maker until slushy-firm. Scoop into storage container and freeze until firm enough to scoop.</p>
