GARNISH
Combine the water, sugar, cilantro, lime juice, and zest in a large
saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 30 minutes, stirring
frequently. Remove from the heat and let cool. Drain the liquid and
reserve, discarding the solids. Pour the liquid into a nonreactive
container and cover. Place the covered container in the freezer and leave
for 24 hours. The mixture will not freeze solid but will appear slushy.
Remove the slush from the freezer and spoon into a blender jar. Process at
medium speed, adding crushed ice 1 cup at a time, until mixture is icy and
all cubes are finely crushed. Portion into four tall parfait glasses and
garnish with cilantro sprigs and berries. Serve immediately.
Make up this refreshing recipe at least 24 hours in advance; it's worth
waiting for. The crisp, clean flavor makes this frozen ice a wonderful
between-courses palate cleanser, but when garnished with fresh raspberries
or cantaloupe balls, it becomes an irresistible dessert. Typos by Brenda
