Lime Sherbet
* 1 c. granulated sugar
* 1 c. water
* 2/3 c. lime juice
* 1 tbsp. lime zest
* 2 c whole milk
* 2 drops green liquid food coloring
In a small sauce pan, heat the sugar and water over a medium heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the lime juice and zest. Refrigerate lime syrup until thoroughly chilled.
Stir the milk and food coloring into the lime syrup. Pour sherbet into ice cream maker and follow the manufacturers instructions to churn.
Store in an air-tight container in your freezer. You’ll want to freeze the sherbet for at least an hour after churning to achieve a firmer texture.
I always add a pinch of salt, a splash of bourbon, and a half teaspoon of gelatin.
