Method

1. Whisk the egg yolks with the milk. Add the sugar, grated zest and juice of the lemons.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold into the lemon mixture.

3. Freeze in a sorbetiere. Alternatively, pour into a shallow container and half freeze. Remove and whisk or break it up in a food processor, then put it back into the freezer. This prevents ice crystals forming.

4. Leave in the freezer overnight to firm before serving.

Would like to make this for my 'Spanish' evening but need more detail please. Large medium or small eggs? Whole or semi-skimmed milk?
