Is this not the best thing you have ever seen? Left is a close up of the flower in a glass of sparkling wine. The syrup forms layers or graduates in the glass, the perfect Champagne Cocktail!
The flowers are actually the calyx or centre of the flower and contain a woody seedpod which is removed by hand by the farms growers.
Cultural History: Wild Hibiscus has been spread throughout the world by people as they travel and migrate. Used in tea, desserts, chutneys, eaten fresh it is a good source of vitamin C and is used in many herbal remedies throughout the world. Originally it is thought to come from the Sudan in Africa but can now be found growing on every continent, proof of its wonderful flavour and appeal to people worldwide.Ingredients: Premium Whole Wild Hibiscus Flowers Hibiscus sabdariffa, Cane Sugar, Spring Water.
Using your Wild Hibiscus Flowers: Best served as a garnish in Champagne or a good Australian Sparkling wine . Place a whole Hibiscus Flower in the bottom of a Champagne flute, pour some of the Crimson Syrup in on top and then fill up with Champagne! The Spectacular, Crown shaped flower sits in the bottom of the flute with all the bubbles streaming off and opening up the flower. The Champagne graduates from crimson at the bottom to light pink at the top.
Also suitable in Cocktails, cordials, soda water or Lemonade for kids. Adds colour and flare to your next Christmas punch or use as the feature dessert garnish on a cheesecake, pavlova, flan or whatever! Use the Syrup as a cordial or drizzle over or around desserts to take advantage of its spectacular colour.
