You can get dried hibiscus flowers that open up once placed in a glass and drink poured over them. That sound just divine but I have not been able to find them so far in local shops. Until then, I added some Hibiscus syrup to a glass of sparkling wine, and voila! Enjoyed a nice colourful glass of bubbles.
INGREDIENTS
2 tblspns hibiscus syrup (hibiscus tea with erythritol instead of sugar)
Sparkling wine or champagne
METHOD
- Add the hibiscus syrup to a wine glass.
- Top up with bubbles.
- Drink and enjoy!

February 13, 2012 at 12:00 pmCan you describe what hibiscus tastes of? I have always wondered, but never seen hibiscus syrup. Until I went to Australia, and now I can’t think why I neglected to pick some up. D’oh!
