How to Make Lime Sorbet
- In a small saucepan, bring 250ml of water to a boil. Add 150g of granulated sugar and stir for 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
- Wash 1 lime thoroughly. Zest only the colored part of the peel using a zester. Set the zest aside.
- Juice the lime and strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp.
- In a bowl, combine the lime juice, sugar syrup, 125ml of water, and 2 tablespoons of strained lemon juice.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Pour the chilled lime mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (approximately 20-30 minutes), until the mixture is thick and icy.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg white with a fork until slightly frothy.
- With the ice cream maker still running, slowly add the beaten egg white to the sorbet mixture.
- Continue churning until the sorbet is firm.
- Gently fold in the reserved lime zest using a fork.
- Transfer the sorbet to airtight, freezer-safe containers. Cover the surface of the sorbet with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. Allow the sorbet to sit in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving to soften.
