Preparation

Step 1
Stir sugar, water and mint together in a 2½-quart souffle dish. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent in a high-power oven for 3 minutes. Stir thoroughly, making sure there are no grains on the bottom of the dish. Cover with a lid or microwave plastic wrap. Cook for 6 minutes. Prick plastic, if used, to release steam.
Step 2
Remove from oven and uncover. Let cool. Strain through a fine sieve. Refrigerate until cold, several hours or overnight.
Step 3
Whisk lemon juice into syrup. Place in an ice-cream machine and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
