How to Make Refreshing Lime Sherbet

  1. Combine the lime juice, lime zest, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool completely. This is crucial for a smooth sherbet.
  3. Stir in the condensed milk until well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually about 20-30 minutes).
  5. Once churned, transfer the sherbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to harden further.
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy! Garnish with extra lime zest or a sprig of mint for an elegant touch.
