A different sorbet, yet very refreshing and exotic, surely will get some ooohhhs and aaaahhhss.

Serves: 4

2 cups of sugar

1 cup of water 

1 cup of lime juice

5 limes zested

handful of basil 

Preparation

• on a medium heat, heat the sugar and water to a slight boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Will take on the texture of a simple syrup
• in a pestle and mortar, bruise the shit out of the basil and bash it up good, add it to the warm mixture
• seive it all into a metal bowl and transfer to the freezer for 45 minutes
• take it out and stir it up
