Easy Homemade Lime Sorbet Recipe (3 ingredients)

7 You can make this sorbet in three ways: using an ice cream machine, a food processor, or adding a splash of alcohol to skip both.In all 3 ways, you need to start by making the lime mixture.
0 Start by heating the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Take it off the heat. Add the lime juice and zest of the lime, then mix well.
Ice Cream Machine:
2 Refrigerate the mixture until completely cooled. Pour the ice cream mixture into your ice cream maker's frozen ice cream container, then churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, cover it to prevent ice crystals from forming, and freeze for at least 4 hours.
Food processor or High-speed blender:
4 To make it with a food processor or blender, pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover it with a lid or plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 4 hours.Cut the frozen mixture into large chunks before serving, then blend it in a food processor or high-speed blender. Serve right away.
Splash of Alcohol:
6 Alcohol helps ice cream stay soft because it lowers the freezing point of the mixture. This prevents it from freezing completely solid, resulting in a creamier and more scoopable texture.Add 2-4 tablespoons of any hard liquor you like (tequila, mezcal, vodka, rum), pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, and freeze for at least 4 hours.You can add an extra splash of alcohol before serving for an extra kick!
