What is the seed/pod that when placed in a glass of wine bursts into a small decorative bloom within minutes?!
I saw this on a recent cookery programme.a type of seed was just dropped into a glass of white wine. Before your eyes it burst into a small 'marine' looking plant. This looks fabulous at dinner parties, as it is safe to remain in alcohol. Looks very decorative.
Answers:
Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup. Simply place one whole wild hibiscus flower in the bottom of a champagne flute, pour in some of the sweet syrup from the jar and top of the glass with champagne, sparkling wine or anything else that's a bit fizzy or bubbly (not sure about soda, but why not). The billions of bubbles from the champagne will then rise up and stream delicately off the flower causing it to bloom right inside the bottom of the glass.
