I have bought some of these edible hibiscus flowers from www.realindulgence.com - any new ideas?

I had bought these after having seen them at a dinner party I went to. I saw them on this website real indulgence, for a tenner including postage. I was so impressed with such a bizarre concept. So the idea is that you place a FLOWER into a champagne flute and then pour your Champagne over then watch as the bubbles push the flower to bloom in your glass. After you%26#039;ve had your drink you then eat the flower. The taste is like glacier cherries almost, very fruity. Well I%26#039;ve tried them with spraking water also - which in fact work the same way. I was wondering if anyone else has been more creative and come up with other ideas in using these Wild Hibiscus Flowers in syrup?

You don%26#039;t have to buy flowers to have edible flowers in your food. Did you know Pansies are edible? How about Begonias and Roses? Although I have worked many years in the restaurant business and used the best of the best flowers....You can have the same exotic flare without the cost. Pansies are edible, and come in a variety of colors. use them to accent any meal or dessert. In the %26quot;business%26quot; we used to say: %26quot;When in doubt add more flowers%26quot;. Use them to accent a salad, on the side of your entree, or as a delicate accent to any dessert. Even on a cheese platter of brie, grapes, etc, you can use the flower to accent the beauty of the food. Enjoy yourself! I just wanted to give you some cheap alternatives to buying expensive hybiscus, versus the many flowers you can use, just as lovely, that are also edible. Save money, keep the elegance!
Reply:Grace Paris is right - you can definitely grow these yourself.





We often use them in salads but you can also freeze them in ice cubes or cubes of frozen ice tea or other drinks to add a bit of color later on.
