Japanese: シャーベット - しゃーべっと(英語表記)sherbet
Sherbet - Sherbet (English spelling)

Sherbet is a food made by freezing fruit juice with sugar, flavorings, milk, egg whites, gelatin, etc. as the main ingredients. It is classified as a frozen dessert, and even if it uses milk or cream as ingredients, it is not considered a dairy product because the amount used is small. The word sherbet comes from the Arabic word shabãt, which means drink. It is said to have been introduced to France in the 16th century via Turkey and Italy. In French, it is called sorbet, and also refers to a drink made by adding liqueur or other Western alcohol to fruit juice and freezing it so that some of the liquid remains. In French cuisine, it is served after the entree (the main meat dish) as a palate cleanser during meals. There are two types: a hard type made by simply adding water, sweeteners, and acidulants to fruit juice and freezing it, and a smooth type made by whipping egg whites, gelatin, and cream. If you make it at home, mix your favorite fruit juice with water, wine, sugar, lemon juice, etc. to taste, add gelatin dissolved in a hot water bath or whipped egg whites, place in a container, and freeze in the freezer. When it is almost frozen, stir it with a spoon to loosen it up, and freeze again.

Japanese:

果汁を主材料として砂糖、香料、そのほか牛乳や卵白、ゼラチンなどを加えて凍らせたものを一般にシャーベットという。食品の分類上は氷菓で、材料に牛乳や生クリームなどを用いたものでも使用量が少ないので乳製品としては扱われない。シャーベットの語源はアラビア語で飲み物の意味のshabãt。トルコ、イタリアを経て16世紀にフランスに伝わったといわれている。フランス語ではソルベsorbetといい、リキュールなどの洋酒を果汁に加えて、一部液体が残るように凍らせた飲み物も意味する。フランス料理では食事中の口直しとしてアントレ(メインの肉料理)のあとに供される。果汁に水、甘味料、酸味料を加えて凍らせただけの口あたりの固いものと、卵白やゼラチン、クリームを加えて泡立て、滑らかな感触にしたものとがある。家庭でつくる場合、好みの果汁に水やワイン、砂糖、レモン汁などで味をととのえ、湯煎(ゆせん)で溶かしたゼラチン液、または泡立てた卵白を加えて容器に入れてフリーザーで凍らせる。ほぼ凍ったら、スプーンでほぐすようにかき混ぜて、ふたたび凍らせる。
