In a small saucepan, add water and sugar to make a simple syrup.

Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then set aside to cool.

In a blender, add half of the fresh strawberries, the juice of half a lemon, and half of the simple syrup mixture.

Blend until smooth.

If using a regular blender and there are too many seeds, strain the mixture; otherwise, leave it as is.

Cover the blended mixture with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours, preferably overnight.

Ensure the insert of your ice cream machine has been in the freezer for 24 hours before use.

Pour the chilled strawberry mixture into the ice cream machine and churn for about 25 minutes until it reaches a frozen consistency.

Transfer the sorbet to a container and place it in the freezer for a bit before serving.
