This refreshing citrus sherbet is a delightful treat for warm days, combining tangy lime and creamy textures.
In a large bowl, combine the boiling water and sugar, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Ensure the water is hot enough to dissolve the sugar quickly and completely.
Add the frozen limeade concentrate and salt to the sugar mixture, stirring until well combined.
Allow the limeade concentrate to melt slightly for easier mixing.
Stir in the milk and half-and-half cream, blending until the mixture is smooth.
Use chilled milk and cream to help the mixture cool down faster.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
For a firmer texture, transfer the sherbet to a container and freeze for an additional hour after churning.
Serve the sherbet in bowls or cones, garnished with a slice of lime or a sprig of mint.
Let the sherbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.
