Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Mojito Sorbet.
Step 1
Begin by pouring water into a saucepan and adding sugar along with fresh mint leaves.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar fully dissolves.
Step 3
Once the sugar has melted, increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 4
After reaching a boil, lower the heat and let it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the mint to infuse its vibrant flavor into the syrup.
Step 5
After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool completely.
Step 6
Once cooled, strain out the mint leaves to reveal a clear, fragrant mint syrup.
Step 7
In a mixing bowl, blend the cooled mint syrup with lime zest, freshly squeezed lime juice, sparkling water, and, if desired, a splash of rum.
Step 8
Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Step 9
Next, pour this delightful concoction into the container of your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's guidelines until it achieves a soft-serve texture.
Step 10
For those who prefer a firmer sorbet, transfer the mixture to a sealed container and freeze for several hours.
Step 11
When you're ready to serve, allow the frozen sorbet to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften, making it easier to scoop and enjoy.
Step 12
This refreshing mint-lime sorbet is perfect for warm days and will surely impress your guests with its vibrant flavors.
