INGREDIENTS FOR A MELON AND MINT SORBET (Low FODMAP) – 8 PORTIONS:
630 g honeydew melon
100 ml elderflower cordial, preferably homemade, but you can also use a shop bought one. Just make sure it is a pure elderflower and for example no apples or pears are being used.
40 ml maple syrup
50 ml water
2 tbsp granulated sweetener, i.e. Stevia – is not really needed. I added them, but it was slightly too sweet! It is because the cordial was used, which is quite sweet, as opposite to an apple and elderflower juice in the Tom Kerridge’s recipe.
Juice of ½ lemon
2 small handfuls of mint leaves

INSTRUCTIONS TO PREPARE A MELON AND MINT SORBET (Low FODMAP):
Peel the melon from its hard skin and chop it into 2.5 cm pieces. Place in a zip plastic bag in one layer and freeze.
Pour the elderflower cordial, maple syrup, water, lemon juice with half of the fresh lemon leaves into a small pot. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 5 minutes.
Take it off the heat and let cool down and infuse. When it’s cool, strain it through a sieve, discarding the mint.
Place the frozen melon pieces, the cooled syrup and the rest of the fresh mint into a food processor. Blend into a smooth consistency. Serve straightaway. You can also place the rest in a freezable container. Just remember to take it out of the freezer 10 minutes earlier to soften up a bit before serving.

My Banana Chocolate Ice Cream, which have only 4 ingredients and are without added sugar, are still delicious and sweet. My child prefers them from those shop ones and doesn’t even ask if they have sugar or not!
