Hibiscus Chaat Masala Sorbet

In the Plum Sauce recipe, I tell the story of how my mom was once making a spiced plum juice that she left on the stove for too long, turning it into a thick sauce that we ended up pouring over vanilla ice cream. I created this sorbet as the frozen equivalent of that culinary mishap. I wanted to marry the umami saltiness of the chaat masala with the fruity sweetness of the plum, but I also wanted a flavor that was available year-round. Enter, hibiscus tea.
