Ingredients

  • 6 oz Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
  • 1 Zest of a full Lime
  • 2/3 cup Cachaca Avua Prata Cachaca used here
  • 2.5 cups Water
  • 1 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 4 Sprigs Mint Approximately 1/4 cup of Mint Leaves removed from sprigs.

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, you want to combine 1.5 cups of Water with your sugar. Stir until it dissolves and add in your lime zest. Continue to heat and stir until it completely dissolves and almost comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and add in the rest of your water.

  2. Let this come to room temperature before storing in the fridge. Once it has reached room temperature, add in your Mint leaves and Cachaca and let this cool in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

  3. Once the sorbet is chilled thoroughly, you are ready to follow your Ice Cream Machine instructions. For my Ice Cream Attachment, I let this stir for approximately 30 minutes before storing back into the freezer.
