Sorbet

Sorbet, or sherbet, is a cold dessert made with water or fruit juice instead of milk.^[1] Most sorbets have fruit flavors. Lemon is the most common flavor, and other flavors include orange, lemon, cherry, lime, red wine. Rainbow is a mix of different-colored flavors, usually including lemon and cherry.^[2]^[3]

Sorbet is a French name, but the origin of the dessert is not known for sure. It has been around for several centuries. Before refrigeration frozen ice stores were used. Claims have been made that the idea was known in ancient Persia.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]
