I love Agua de Jamaica (Hibiscus tea) and this sorbet elevates it to a creamy deliciousness. You can substitute honey for the corn syrup, but it affects the taste considerably. Don't leave the corn syrup out or it will affect the creaminess and texture. I've not tried this with frozen raspberries, but will real soon.
