Ta, flower!
We love these wee jars of wild hibiscus flowers in syrup – just pop one into the bottom of a champagne flute, add a little syrup, fill up with bubbly and watch the flower open. How festive is that?And when the drink’s gone, you can eat the flower, which tastes of raspberry and rhubarb. Gorgeous!
