Ingredients
1¾
cups
lime juice
freshly squeezed from about 12-14 limes
1½
cups
sugar
2¼
cups
water
very cold
Instructions
Combine lime juice with sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. This may take a few moments.
1¾ cups lime juice,
1½ cups sugar
Add cold water
2¼ cups water
Place in an ice cream maker and churn for 15-20 minutes
Remove sorbet from churning bowl and place in a freezer for 2-3 hours before serving
Notes
Make certain the sugar is fully dissolved before adding the water. This can take a few minutes. Just stir and then come back and stir again.
Use very cold water. The colder the better.
Make certain your ice cream bowl is fully frozen. Mine takes 12-24 hours to fully freeze.
You'll need to harden (or freeze) the sorbet once finished churning. You can eat right away, but it will be very soft and will melt quickly.
Once hardened, the sorbet may be difficult to scoop. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
Store in freezer in a covered container
