Tips:

For a smoother sherbet, use a blender or food processor to blend the ingredients until they are completely smooth.
If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can use a whisk to blend the ingredients together. However, this will take longer and the sherbet may not be as smooth.
To make the sherbet more flavorful, add a teaspoon of lime zest to the mixture before freezing.
If you want a sweeter sherbet, add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the mixture before freezing.
Be sure to freeze the sherbet for at least 3 hours before serving. This will allow the sherbet to fully set and become firm.
When you're ready to serve the sherbet, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
