I love my hibiscus tea from Argo Tea, especially iced in the Summer, and recently came across this recipe that I cannot wait to try very soon (when I'm no longer eating for two). Now we just have to figure this syrup thing out.

Elsa and I love our pasta. We probably own every variety of Barilla there is, but it is no longer our fav. after trying this homemade fettuccine . It was so good that I ran back and bought a ton more. Thanks Abe's.
