洛神花

Fresh Roselle, a plant which is rich in Vitamin C, taste slightly sweet & sour...

A thirst-quenching drink, I did not add any sweeteners as I prefer to taste is natural sweetness :)


Ingredient
* 200gm fresh roselle
* 3 liter water
* honey to taste (optional)

Method
1. Rinse roselle briefly, tear off outer layer & lightly crush buds.
2. Place (1) into a pot of water, bring to boil for 5mins. Turn off heat. Cover and leave till cool.
3. Strain away pulps and serve with ice-cubes, or chill in fridge.








Ingredient
* 10gm konnyaku powder
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 500ml fresh roselle juice
* 300ml rose wine

Method
1. Combine konnyaku powder & sugar together. Mix evenly.
2. Bring roselle juice to boil. Add konnyaku mixture gradually, stirring constantly. Stir till sugar & powder dissolves.
3. Turn off heat, stir in rose wine. Transfer jelly mixture into mould and chill till set.

  3. TL...yes! i saw the recipe, but dun think i try that cos i find that the taste wont be as distinctive after baking it :P

    Thinkingmama, fresh roselle is readily available at some NTUC, if not u also can get dried version at chinese medical hall.
