Ingredients

• 2 large juicy lemons
• 2 juicy limes
• 100g caster sugar

Directions

1. Peel the zest from the lemons and limes and chop roughly. Put the sugar, 150ml water and zest into a pan and stir over a gentle heat, until the mixture comes to a simmer and the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and cool.

2. Squeeze the juice from the lemons and limes and stir into the sugar syrup. Strain the mixture into a shallow freezerproof container with a lid, cover, and freeze until the mixture begins to freeze at the edges – about 2 hours.

3. Scrape all the ice from the sides of the box and break up into smaller crystals with a fork. Re-cover and return to the freezer. Repeat every 30 minutes, until you have a frozen but grainy mixture. Return to the freezer until ready to serve.

4. Spoon into tall glass tumblers and serve.
