5 c water 
 2 1/2 c sugar 
 1/3 c fresh ginger minced
 1/3 c fresh lime juice 
 Combine the water and sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.  Boil
 for 5 minutes.  Remove the pan from the heat.  Add the minced ginger and let
 the mixture steep for 10 minutes.
 Strain the syrup into a mixing bowl.  Stir in the lime juice, cover, and
 chill until cold. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker, following the
 manufacturer's instructions.  Before serving, temper the sorbet in the
 refrigerator until it is no longer icy-hard and becomes smooth and easy to
 scoop. 
 Serve.
