    Notes

    This recipe can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. The coconut milk may separate slightly - simply stir before serving.
    For a special presentation, freeze edible flowers in ice cubes to add to the drinks. The recipe can be easily doubled for larger gatherings.
    Those who prefer a sweeter drink can add more honey. For a lighter version, substitute light coconut milk or coconut water for the full-fat coconut milk.
    The hibiscus tea provides a good source of vitamin C and antioxidants. This mocktail works well for summer parties, baby showers, or as a refreshing afternoon drink.
