Hibiscus Flowers – 12g

Flavour Notes:

A stunning flowering plant grown in tropical regions, the trumpet-shaped blooms of a hibiscus tree have a delicate, sweet flavour that’s delicious in baked goods, desserts and teas. Hibiscus Flowers come in a range of varieties and colours, the pink hibiscus are best suited to using in cooking, with a subtle flavour that’s akin to pomegranate. The petals are harvested from the flower and dried to lock in flavour and preserve. Use whole in syrups and teas or chop finely for incorporating into desserts and baked goods.

Culinary Notes:

With a sweet pomegranate-like flavour, dried Hibiscus Flowers add a fruity, floral flavour and beautiful pink hue to sweet dishes, teas and cocktails, or used as a finishing garnish on cakes and even couscous or salads. To soften, rehydrate in warm water before using or simply chop or grind the dried petals for a dried hibiscus flower powder. For an aromatic tea, brew in 80-degree water with a small amount of black or green tea. For a festive drink, steep the flowers in a warm mixture of sugar and water to make a syrup before adding to champagne.
