So, my girl friends took me to lunch to celebrate today. One of them gave me this lovely bottle of champagne. She knows it's my favorite beverage and it's hers as well. I thought it was so nice of her. Then when I got home I found several packages on the front porch.One of them was this strange little jar of 'Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup'. I've never heard of such a thing, but I'm willing to try a lot of things.
So, I follow the instructions which say to take a flower out of this jar and put it in a wine glass. Then you add a splash of the syrup they come in, so that is just what I did. Looks pretty - nice color and nice thick syrup.Then you are supposed to pour a little sparkling wine or champagne over the flower. Well, it just so happens there is a nice bottle in the fridge. So I pour some over the flower and it bubbles - very pretty isn't it?
After a couple of minutes this is what I had. I'm drinking it now and it tastes as good as it looks! Wish you could join me in a glass!Thank you, my only sister, for the lovely gift! I'll let you know what the flower tastes like when I eat it!

So - how did it taste
Delicious! And very pretty too! What was nice was that the same flower kept flavoring new glasses of wine . . . .
Was this new glasses of wine all in the same day? I would not like to be responsible for your over indulgence. . . But - if they won't keep, keep drinking.
That is/was a very small glass - didn't hold much wine at all . . .
