Method:

Place water and dried hibiscus in a pitcher, stir. Refrigerate overnight.

Strain the hibiscus water. Sweeten to your liking (we prefer it more tart than sweet). Add a very small amount of rose water to get a perfumed aroma (not too much). The amount will vary depending on the concentration of the rose water. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Pour hibiscus-rose infusion into elegant stemware. Garnish by floating a small edible flower in each glass. The flower is for presentation of the “flower water” not meant to be eaten. Serve very cold, ice optional, among a bed of colorful hibiscus and roses, of course.
