Cool and refreshing, perfect to cool you down on hot summer nights.

Ingredients

  • water 500ml
  • caster sugar 200g
  • limes 2, finely grated zest
  • lime juice 1 cup (approx 5 – 6 limes)

Serves 4 Place the sugar, water and lime zest in a pan and bring to the boil, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar. When it comes to the boil allow to cook for five minutes. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Stir in the strained lime juice. Pour into a shallow metal pan (a lamington or brownie tray is ideal). Place in the freezer for 3 – 4 hours, breaking up the mixture with a fork and stirring it every 30 minutes. Serve in chilled dishes or glasses. Tip: this would make a fabulous cocktail mixed with a spirit of your choice (tequila, white rum, gin)
