Tips:
- For a more refreshing sorbet, you can add some chopped mint leaves or freshly squeezed grapefruit juice to the mixture.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can use a blender or food processor with a frozen container as a substitute. Just make sure to blend on high speed for at least 10 minutes until the sorbet reaches your desired consistency.
- You can also customize the flavor of the sorbet by adjusting the amount of lime and lemon juices used. Use more lime juice for a tangy sorbet or more lemon juice for a citrusy sorbet.
