The Odd Fork found itself with enough fresh broccoli, so it decided to make a healthy, simple, cheap -but still odd, broccoli sorbet!

For about a quart of sorbet:

- a medium sized broccoli
- a cup of water (use the water the broccoli boiled into)
- a cup of sugar
- juice of a lemon
- the zest of half a lemon
- some Greek ouzo and some Greek mastic liqueur

To make this excellent broccoli sorbet with lemon - ouzo flavor, just boil the broccoli, rinse but keep aside a cup from its water. Boil the broccoli water with a cup of sugar and the juice of a lemon for 1-2 minutes.
Blend the syrup with the broccoli and the zest of half a lemon until the mixture is smooth.
When totally cool, add a little of Greek ouzo and some Greek mastic liqueur and refrigerate in your ice cream maker.

If an ice cream maker is not available, put the mixture in a plastic ice cream container in the freezer and every once in a while blend the frozen mixture to make sure your sorbet will be smooth.
Alcohol gives a smoother texture and instead of ouzo you can use vodka, gin or anything you like.

Feel free to experiment, feel free to be odd and strange!
Besides you never know, maybe with a green ice cream like this you can finally trick your kids into eating broccoli!
