FAQS
Can I make this recipe non-alcoholic?

Can I use regular sugar instead of brown sugar?

How do I ensure the sorbet has a creamy texture?
Blend the mixture thoroughly until the ice is finely crushed and well incorporated with the other ingredients.
Can I prepare this in advance?
It's best served immediately after blending, but you can freeze it for a short time and re-blend before serving if needed.
What type of mint works best for this recipe?
Spearmint is traditionally used, but any fresh mint variety will work well.
