Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup.
These really are lovely!...
Simply place a whole Wild Hibiscus Flower bud in the bottom of a champagne flute, pour in some of the syrup out of the jar and fill with bubbly. All the bubbles from your sparkling wine stream off and open the flower. You can eat the flower if you want as well, it has a delicious raspberry and rhubarb flavour.
For a non-alcoholic alternative, you can use the Hibiscus Buds with lemonade or sparkling water.
Each jar contains approx 11 flowers. Cocktail and other recipes available. There's also a little booklet attached on the jar lid with cocktail recipes.
Here's a short YouTube UK video about using the flowers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od3j6VZ_1cA
And here: http://www.bushtuckershop.com/files/wildhibiscuscupcakes.pdf is a 'crazy' American recipe for Vanilla Bean Cup Cakes with Pink Passion fruit Frosting and Wild Hibiscus Flowers! (Looks amazing!)
These are a favourite at parties and we often supply them for weddings or anniversary celebrations. Larger catering-sized jars are available for such occasions. Please get in touch if that's of interest.
Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup are made by a family-owned and operated business in the foothills of the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, Australia. Hibiscus growers (predominantly from Queensland) produce and hand pick the crops of flowers, 25 percent of which are certified organic. The fresh flowers buds are individually picked, deseeded, cleaned and packed into jars entirely by hand in the tiny village of Kurrajong. Hibiscus flowers grow in several different shapes, so they are placed in predetermined positions in the jar according to shape, to ensure that none are squashed!
