    This summer, we’re loving sherbets! Not the powdery, sticky finger-inducing sherbets of our childhoods, but the icy type, which is somewhere between a sorbet and an ice cream. Cherry, rosehip and hibiscus sherbet is the perfect way to embrace cherry season! The beautiful plum colour comes from the floral tea bags, which complement the cherry flavour perfectly. Strictly speaking, sorbets don’t contain any dairy, and ice creams are cream-based. Sherbets are fruity and contain a little milk fat – the perfect canvas for experimenting with interesting flavour combinations.  ALSO TRY: Lemongrass and basil sherbet PLUS: Spiced peach sherbet
