Grate the lime and add it to a saucepan along with the water and sugar. Cook for 10 minutes over low heat and let it cool to obtain a syrup.

Cover with plastic wrap and place back in the freezer until serving.

Lime Sorbet Option # 2

When you consume this sorbet you will feel that you are in the middle of a paradisiacal beach in the north of Brazil or in front of the Caribbean Sea. A refreshing and beautiful feeling, perfect as a pre-summer vacation!

What do you need?

The juice of 3 limes
The juice of 3 lemons
Zest from the zest of a lime
Zest of the zest of a lemon
200 grams of sugar
400 grams of cold water (can be a cup of ice too)

As elaborated?

The first thing is to squeeze the juices separately and grate the peels.
Then all the ingredients are put together in the blender.
Now you have two options to continue with this recipe, with or without a fridge.
- With a fridge: Pour the sorbet into a jar and leave it in the freezer for a few minutes to give it a more solid texture (this will take a few hours).
- Without a refrigerator: Use ice cubes instead of cold water, stir well and you will have a “frozen” style sorbet.

Lime Sorbet Option # 3

In this case we have a variation of the previous recipes because in addition to the lime we will add celery and basil. The result? Exquisite, of course! Surprise your friends when they come over to your house on Friday night or your significant other with an aperitif drink before dinner on Saturday.

You need (for 6 servings):

4 limes
1 lemon
1 cup of water
150 grams of sugar
6 whole celery sticks (with the leaves)
1 handful of natural basil leaves
Pink peppercorns to taste
Lime slices for garnish

How do you prepare:

lemon slush

In a saucepan, add the sugar, the lime zest and the water. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
Let it cool down.
Meanwhile, squeeze the limes and lemon. Mix with the syrup (the previous preparation) that should already be at room temperature.
Pour into an airtight container and place in the freezer for four hours, removing every half hour to prick with a stick, fork or knife. This will prevent chunks of ice from forming on the Lime Sorbet.
Take out of the freezer and distribute into glasses. Accompany with a branch of celery in each one and some whole basil leaves. Sprinkle with the grated pink pepper and garnish with lime wedges before serving. (Some in this step is when they add an alcoholic beverage such as vodka).

Take to the freezer 1 hour, remove, click a little and put it back in, now 40 minutes, like this until you get the desired consistency.
