Tips:

Choose the right citrus: Limes or oranges can be used to make this sherbet. Limes will give you a more tart flavor, while oranges will be sweeter.

Use fresh fruit: Fresh citrus fruits will give you the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic fruit.

Zest the citrus fruits: Zesting the citrus fruits will add a lot of flavor to the sherbet. Be sure to zest the fruit before you juice it.

Use a good quality dairy product: The type of dairy product you use will affect the flavor of the sherbet. For a richer flavor, use heavy cream. For a lighter flavor, use milk.

Chill the mixture before churning: Chilling the mixture before churning will help it to freeze more evenly.

Churn the sherbet until it is firm: The sherbet is ready when it is firm and has the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.

Serve the sherbet immediately: Sherbet is best when it is served immediately. If you need to store it, place it in a covered container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
