&lt;dd&gt;Initial creation&lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;h2 id="hardware"&gt;Hardware&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id="required"&gt;Required&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CFDNWV4C" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Loaf Tins&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Blender&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="optional"&gt;Optional&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C2G7VXX3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Loaf Pan Lids&lt;/a&gt;
 to avoid plastic wrap / tin foil&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1LB9CKH" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Ice Cube Trays&lt;/a&gt;
 for faster freezing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/Containers-Airtight-Silicone-Homemade-Container/dp/B0F7THL6XH" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Ice Cream Containers&lt;/a&gt;
 for transport / longer term storage / multiple batch making&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="notes"&gt;Notes&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id="fixes"&gt;Fixes&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Can fully melt and re-work a sorbet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Always re-freeze a sorbet fully before making any adjustments or similar. Not re-freezing between fixes can break the mix &amp;ndash; chill your base down to 40°F or lower before you churn it again&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Too sweet: Add more lemon, water, or fruit&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Too icy: Add more sugar until you&amp;rsquo;re satisfied&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Under seasoned: Lots of sorbets are; simply add more salt and spin it again.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If a sorbet is just &amp;rsquo;too problematic&amp;rsquo;, toss in a blender with a little [coconut] water (and/or alcohol) and make a slushie / daiquiri&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="blending"&gt;Blending&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A fully frozen sorbet will &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; blend. It needs to melt some before blending&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="sugars"&gt;Sugars&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h4 id="relative-sweetness"&gt;Relative Sweetness&lt;/h4&gt;
