Equipment

• ice cream maker
• saucepan

Ingredients

  

• 3 cups water filtered
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 1½ cup lemon juice
• ¾ cup lime juice
• 1 Tbsp lemon zest optional

Instructions

 

• Prepare your ice cream maker, whether that is an initial chilling cycle, or placing the freezing bowl in the freezer for at least 24 hours.
• In a large saucepan mix the sugar and water, bringing it to a low boil over medium to high heat. Lower the heat and simmer until the sugar is fully dissolved, approximately 5 minutes.
• Allow the sugar mixture to cool completely, and place in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled (overnight if in doubt).
• Add the lemon juice and zest to the cooled sugar mixture, stir to combine.
• Prepare your ice cream maker for churning and begin mixing on low speed. Add your sorbet mixture and churn for approximately 25-30 minutes.
• The mixture will have frozen to a thick, soft, icy consistency. Serve immediately, or place in the freezer to harden more thoroughly.
