Ingredients
Base ingredients
- 2 cups water liquid base
- 1 cup granulated sugar adds sweetness
- 1 cup fresh lime juice provides tartness
- 2 limes zest enhances lime flavor
Optional garnish
- 1/4 cup lime zest optional for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool slightly. Ensure it is warm but not hot before mixing.
Mixing
- Add fresh lime juice and zest to the cooled syrup. Stir until well combined.
Freezing
- Transfer the mixture to an airtight container, spreading it evenly and not too deep. Cover and place in the freezer.
- Let it freeze for several hours or ideally overnight until fully set.
Serving
- Remove from the freezer and let sit for a few minutes if very firm before scooping.
- Serve in bowls or cups, garnished with additional lime zest if desired.
Notes
Allow syrup to cool completely before adding lime juice. Use high-quality fresh limes for the best flavor. Churn in an ice cream maker for a silkier texture.
