Remove the pot and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Take your dish out of the freezer, pour in the mixture, then put it back in the freezer.
Take the dish out of the freezer every half an hour and stir the mixture thoroughly with a whisk.
The sorbet should be completely frozen after around 4 hours. Transfer it to an airtight, freezer-safe container, then put it back in the freezer for storing.
