Wendy's Lime Mint Icecream

Make a syrup with 2 cups of caster sugar and two cups of water.  After sugar has dissolved, allow to boil, unstirred, for 12 minutes.

When cool, add half a cup of lemon juice and 50 roughly chopped mint leaves. 
Whizz in a blender till mint is as fine as possible.

Lightly mix with big spoon, 2 cups of Greek yoghurt and 1/2 cup of thickened cream.  Add the cool/cold mint syrup, and mix  thoroughly.

Pour into two old icecream containers and put in freezer till about 3-5 centimetres around the edges has frozen.   This will take around 3-4 hours.  Turn out into a bowl and beat till all smooth again.  Refreeze and repeat this process as many times as you like, at least 2 or 3.

Tastes great with macerated strawberries (chop and soak a punnet of berries in a couple of tablespoons of caster sugar, couple of tablespoons of lemon juice, about 4 tablespoons  or more of orange liquer.  I use peach schnapps.  YUM! YUM!
