Lime syrup is perfect for adding a tangy and refreshing touch to your frozen desserts, cocktails, or summer drinks. It's also a great topping for homemade ice cream made with Ninja Creami. Here's how to make this homemade syrup in a few simple steps!
Ingredients
- 200 ml of fresh lime juice (about 4 to 5 limes)
- Zest of 1 lime (to intensify the flavor)
- 200 g of sugar
- 100 ml of water
Preparation
- To prepare the basic syrup:
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to obtain a slightly thickened syrup. - Add the lime.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the lime juice and zest. The zest adds extra intensity, and the juice adds a touch of acidity balanced by the sugar. - Infuse and strain.
Let the mixture infuse for 10-15 minutes, then strain the syrup to remove the zest and obtain a smooth liquid. Taste to adjust the sugar if necessary. - Keep refrigerated. Pour
the syrup into an airtight bottle and store in the refrigerator. It will keep for about two weeks, perfect for adding a tangy touch to your recipes whenever you like!

This lime syrup is ideal for topping ice cream made with Ninja Creami, especially vanilla ice cream or mango sorbet for a touch of acidity.
