Steps:
- Heat the water, sugar, and mint leaves in a saucepan over medium heat, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes to extract the mint flavor. Set the mixture aside to cool, and strain out the mint leaves.
- Pour the cooled mint mixture, lime zest, lime juice, sparkling water, and rum into a bowl and mix well. Pour into the container of an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve immediately for a softer texture, or freeze in a sealed container for a harder sorbet. Let hard-frozen sorbet thaw a few minutes before serving.

MOJITO SORBET
Steps:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water until the sugar dissolves. Add the mint sprigs; stir until mixture comes to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand approximately 10 minutes. Place a fine strainer over a large bowl and pour syrup mixture through (straining out the mint). Add lime juice, rum, and lime zest to the strained syrup mixture and stir to combine. Add Brown Sugar. Chill overnight or at least 4 hours. Process in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. NOTE: The vodka (or any other type of alcohol) is the secret to a soft sorbet. Alcohol itself does not freeze and adding a little bit keeps the sorbet from doing the same. Vodka is excellent to use because it doesn't affect the taste. Can Also Be a DRINK!!!: For Mojito Margarita: Add Tequila and stir until slushy For Mojito Daquiri: Add Rum and stir until slushy. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
Tips:
- Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor.
- Make sure the limes are ripe and juicy.
- Add a splash of rum for an extra kick.
- Serve the sorbet immediately after it's made, or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint.
Conclusion:
This mojito sorbet is a refreshing and delicious way to cool down on a hot day. It's also a great way to use up any leftover mint leaves. Give this recipe a try and let us know what you think!
