Ingredients

  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves

  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes), strained

Preparation

In a small saucepan, bring water, sugar, and mint (reserve a few leaves for garnish) to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often. Pour mint syrup into blender, add citrus juices, and blend on high for 30 seconds until well combined. Pour mixture into a 2 quart pyrex baking dish and freeze for 6 hours.

Once frozen, break mixture into chunks and pulse in a food processor until small crystals form. Garnish with mint leaves and serve immediately.
