manual
Step 1: At the beginning, put the 2 glasses of sugar (plenty filled) and the glass of water in a saucepan.
Step 2: Then add the limescale to the pot and let it boil for 5 minutes. Let the syrup cool down afterwards.
Step 3: Meanwhile, squeeze out the limes. Before slicing, roll the limes back and forth on the work surface. Then split them in half and squeeze the juice out with your hand. Fill the glass brimming with lime juice. If the juice is not enough, add lime juice from the bottle. Now pour the juice into the syrup, stir well and taste. If the lime is too gentle, just add some juice.
Step 4: Now wash the basil. This is then crushed with mortar and pestle (possibly also with a blender). Now add the basil porridge to the syrup. Let the mixture soak for a few minutes. For more taste, puree the syrup again briefly.
Step 5: If you like, you can now squeeze the syrup through a sieve so that coarse basil fibers do not end up in the sherbet. Then place the syrup in a suitable container in the freezer for 45 minutes.
Step 6: After this time the sorbet is whipped once with the whisk.
Then put it back in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Tip: To be on the safe side, you can open the sorbet several times. That way, it gets even creamier.
First let it thaw and then the basil and lime sorbet can be prepared and eaten. Decorate every single bowl with small slices of lime and basil leaves - so the ice is visually a blast! Good Appetite!
