Hibiscus ice cream at Limestone Pizza, 814 Massachusetts St.

Hibiscus is a flower native to tropical regions of the world, so if you’re unfamiliar with this particular ingredient, it’s not something springing up in Lawrence. While the large flower petals may appear in white, orange, pink, red, yellow or purple, the hibiscus ice cream at Limestone Pizza + Kitchen + Bar will arrive at your table as a purple-y magenta color, almost too pretty to devour.

It tastes like a sweet and tangy sorbet, the only difference being the creamy texture (from the milk) of this light and refreshing fruity dessert. Three scoops arrive with a crisp waffle cookie.
