Especially the Orange Spice tea ice cream. I suspect you can mail order the stuff from the store in Seattle. They also make a fantastic spiced tea that requires no sugar at all -- i think they put stevia leaf in it. I am so in love with my ice cream maker, it's just silly. I made a rhubarb sorbet recently that was to die for, and i just tried making a peach ice cream without a recipe that came out fairly lame but still, creamy and peachy and cold, so not all bad. :-) Another idea: with melon sorbet, try putting in a bit of sauternes. It is incredible, adding slightly different floral and sweet notes to those of the melon, and especially helps a less-than-superb melon become more than it is. <ul> <li><em>Oh- that sounds like a nice alternative to vodka for the melon sorbet!

I don't think I can get the same orange spice tea around here, but I'm going shopping for a cantaloupe.

I remember at my old school some students were playing around with flavors for sorbets. The one I really enjoyed was the watermelon and green apple...though the green apple flavor wasn't that intense in the sorbet it was still refreshing enough. Nice refreshing recipes.
