Garnishing Wine Diva's World
Some
things have the power to bring an instant smile. For me, a wall of candy, a
bouquet of gerbera daisies, the perfect shoes and the window display at Cupcakes.
Wine Diva just found another reason to beam-the
Garnish Girls'
newest product- edible, all natural Wild Hibiscus flowers. These
beautiful jellied blossoms from Australia are packaged in syrup, in
glass jars of 50 and are available in North America for the first
time. When owner Tina (one of the three lovely ladies of GG)
emailed me about this new product I clapped my hands and giggled
like Elmo!
Everyone
knows WD's passionate
appreciation for bubbles in any form, but drop one of these
bathing beauties into my glass and you have my unending love and
affection. The Hibiscus' are a red/pink shade and their syrup the
colour of grenadine. When you drop the flower into a champagne flute
the bubbles go crazy and tickle the petals open creating an
undulating work of art. The wine itself takes on a rosé hue and the
subtle rhubarb-y aromas of the Hibiscus are released.
Best of all once the glass is empty you can eat the flower
(remember-all natural). It has the sweet flavour and texture of a red
Jujube-what fun!
Observe. Drink. Eat. Repeat.
Wine Diva's perfect
meal-in-a-glass
