Ingredients: Grated rind of 1 mandarin 1 1/2 cups water 1 cup sugar 2 cups mandarin juice 1 cup uncarbonated mineral water (plain tap water will do in a pinch)

	Method: Simmer the rind with the water and sugar in medium saucepan for around 20 minutes Cool the mix, then strain and set aside the rind Combine the sugar syrup with the mandarin juice and mineral water Freeze the mixture in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions Fold in the rind just before the sorbet firmly freezes

	Notes: If you don't have an ice-cream maker - and many people don't - an alternative way to make sorbet is to refrigerate the mix in your freezer until it's almost frozen, then run it through a blender or food processor with metal blades. Beat the mix until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, then refreeze until it's fully frozen again.
