Ingredients
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves
1 pound fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tablespoons white or light rum
Directions
Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
Gently press the mint leaves with your hands or a muddler to release their oils and aromatics, then add them to the cooled sugar syrup. Let steep for 5 minutes.
Strain the mint syrup through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing lightly to extract any remaining liquid. Discard the mint leaves.
Place the blueberries in a food processor or blender and puree until completely smooth.
Pour the blueberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing to extract the juice. Discard the seeds and pulp.
Combine the strained blueberry juice, mint-infused syrup, fresh lime juice, and rum in a bowl. Stir well to fully incorporate.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions, typically 20–25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. If frozen solid, allow to soften slightly at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping and serving.
