Steps:
- Use a vegetable peeler or large zester to remove 3 long strips of peel (just the zest, not the pith) from the grapefruits. Set aside. Squeeze out 2 cups of grapefruit juice.
- In a saucepan, combine the grapefruit peel, sugar, corn syrup and water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, and cook for about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool. Place in the refrigerator, or set in a bowl of ice for faster chilling. Discard the peel.
- Strain the grapefruit juice through a sieve or strainer to remove the pulp. Discard pulp. Stir the sugar syrup into the grapefruit juice, and mix in food coloring one drop at a time to achieve a pleasing, believable pink. (In other words, don't overdo it.)
- Pour into the container of an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a container and freeze until firm before serving.

Steps:
- Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil until the sugar dissolves and the syrup is clear. Remove from heat, add 1/2 cup of the mint leaves and steep 15 minutes. Strain syrup, let cool and refrigerate until chilled. (The syrup will keep, refrigerated, for 2 weeks.)
- In a bowl, mix the pink grapefruit juice with the syrup. Pour into an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Transfer to a container and freeze until serving time. Wrap and freeze the reserved grapefruit halves. Meanwhile, peel the grapefruit or pomelo and pull it apart into segments. Using the tip of a small sharp knife, loosen the white membrane surrounding each segment and pull it away, trying not to pierce any of the little juice pods. Break up the segments into the juice pods and set aside.
- Place the sorbet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
- Scatter half the grapefruit or pomelo juice pods over the bottom of the frozen grapefruit halves. Scoop sorbet over the grapefruit and cover with remaining grapefruit juice pods. Garnish with mint leaves.

Tips:
- Use ripe, juicy pink grapefruit. This will ensure that your sorbet is flavorful and refreshing.
- Freeze the grapefruit segments before making the sorbet. This will help them to blend more smoothly and create a creamier sorbet.
- Add a touch of lavender for a unique and refreshing flavor. Lavender pairs well with grapefruit and adds a subtle floral note.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this sorbet. Simply freeze the grapefruit mixture in a shallow dish and stir it every few hours until it is frozen solid. This will take longer than using an ice cream maker, but the results will be just as delicious.
- Serve the sorbet immediately or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When ready to serve, let the sorbet soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
Conclusion:
Pink grapefruit sorbet with lavender is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of tart grapefruit and sweet lavender flavors is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a delicious and healthy dessert, give this pink grapefruit sorbet with lavender a try.
