  1. Ooo, I love hibiscus (well I’ve had it in prosecco and that was lovely!) and I love sorbet. This looks amazing, that colour is fabulous.

    1. Yes, hibiscus is great. 🙂 It has such an unusual flavor – the ice cream tastes more like a berry ice cream – and a beautiful color, and it’s supposed to be healthy.
