Hibiscus and Rose Lemonade

Les Mauvaises Herbes

Hibiscus is probably the most widely used plant for cold infusions around the world. It's the key ingredient of bissap (Senegal), seille (Guinea), agua de jamaica (Latin America), carcadè (Italy), and more! Here, we like to blend it with lemon juice and rose petals to make a fantastic lemonade. It's so, so, so pretty!
