  2. Add lime & vietnamese mint leaves & chop for 10 secs on speed 7.
  3. Add the ice & coconut water & chop for 1.5 mins on speed 10 using the spatula to push the sorbet back into the blades if needed.
Notes
You can make this sorbet into a mocktail or cocktail drink by adding more coconut water & or some vodka to taste.

The younger smaller vietnamese mint leaves seem to be less pungent, so it's important to taste the sorbet to see if it has the correct amount of mint for your palate.
