Lime & Basil Sorbet

Saw this on a Jamie Oliver show last night. I love the method of making this.

2 glasses sugar

1 glass water

1 glass lime juice

zest of limes it takes to fill up the glass

1 large bunch of basil pounded to a puree

1. place water and sugar in a pan, bring to a boil and simmer four minutes with the zest
2. remove from the heat and allow to cool for a while
3. add the lime juice and basil puree
4. stir this up and leave to infuse for a while
5. pass through a sieve and pour into a stainless steel bowl and place in a freezer
6. stir around with a whisk every half an hour, for about two hours
7. serve in a glass with a sprig of basil
