Hibiscus flower squash


Hibiscus flowers are packed with antioxidants. This sweet drink is prepared with fresh flowers.

It is so simple to prepare and delicious to drink. It is highly refreshing.

Preparation 

Collect the flowers fresh. Wash it and allow to drain. Remove the petals from the flowers and keep aside. For sweetness jaggery is added. Boil the required jaggery in a little water, strain it and add the syrup into a litre of water along with 3 cloves and allow to boil. When it is boiling high, add the petals and off the flame. Cover the pan with a lid. Allow to cool down. Strain it. Add lime juice and basil seeds. This drink helps to enhance immunity and to loss weight. 

This can be refrigerated and serve if you prefer a cold drink. 

Thank you Mrs. Geetha Unni, my lovely friend, for sharing the recipe. This inspired me to prepare a herbal beverage with fresh flowers.
