Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 155 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Cup sugar
• 1 Cup water
• 0.75 Cup fresh lime juice
• 20 Fresh basil leaves, minced
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) lime zest, zested
• 1 Pinch sea salt, to taste

Steps

1. Prepare the Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat. Let it cool for about 10 minutes.
2. Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cooled simple syrup, fresh lime juice, minced basil leaves, lime zest, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the basil is finely incorporated.
3. Freeze the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover and place it in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until the mixture is completely frozen.
4. Blend Again for Smoothness: Once frozen, break the sorbet into chunks and return them to the blender. Blend until the sorbet is smooth and creamy. This step ensures a silky texture.
5. Final Freeze: Transfer the smooth sorbet back into the container, cover, and freeze for an additional 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the sorbet into bowls or glasses. Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil or a twist of lime zest for an elegant presentation. Enjoy this refreshing treat immediately!
