Hibiscus lemon drizzle cake

 Didn't have enough of any ingredients to make a full size cake so did the best with what I had.

Whilst the cake was baking, the lemon juice, sugar and a few hibiscus flowers were cooked to melt the sugar, then left to go cold. It was then strained to remove the flowers:

Poured over the cake, it resulted in a nice pink touch on the top of the cake:

Not sure if we could taste it as the nature of the cake is sour anyway but it looked pretty. I think it would make a nice pink icing if used that way.

    It looks really pretty. Do you think that the drizzling mix would make a good cold drink with sparkling water too?

      I would imagine so. I also think just the straight hibiscus juice frozen as ice cubes would make a nice tart drink.
