Basil Lime Sorbet

I went to Humphry Slocombe in San Francisco with some friends last weekend.  Check out their website: http://humphryslocombe.com/%7C_Home_%7C.html.  I tasted several flavors, but especially enjoyed their basil lime sorbet.  So, of course I had to try to make it myself.

I found this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/basil-lime-sorbet/.  Notice that all you need to make this is a blender, not an ice cream maker.  I used 2 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar and made the simple syrup, as directed.  I juiced about 10 limes, which gave me about 1 cup of lime juice.  I chopped up about 30 large fresh basil leaves.  Then, I put all of this in the blender and froze the liquid overnight.  Once it was frozen, I put the sorbet back in the blender to make it slushy.  This was delicious and pretty easy to make (other than all the juicing).  It seemed a bit on the sweet side, so I may use a little less sugar if I make it again.
