What does SORBET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A frozen dessert made of sweetened fruit juice or purée, without milk or cream.
Because a sorbet has no dairy, it tastes sharper and lighter than ice cream, and it is often served between courses to cleanse the palate. Lemon, raspberry and mango are common flavours. The word came into English from French, ultimately from an Arabic term for a cold drink.
