- 3 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lime juice

Blend the Mango- In a blender, add the chopped mangoes, cooled simple syrup, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
Strain the mixture (optional)- For an extra smooth sorbet, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any fibrous bits.
