03 - Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity with more sugar or lime juice if needed.
04 - Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for 1 hour.
05 - Remove from the freezer and stir the mixture with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Return to the freezer.
06 - Repeat stirring every 30 minutes for 2–3 hours, until the sorbet is firm and smooth.
07 - Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
