Cooking InstructionsHide images

step 1

Make the ice cubes: Place the Edible Flowers (to taste) into a large ice cube tray. Fill the tray with boiling water that has been cooled slightly. Fill the ice cube trays 90% and make sure the flowers are completely submerged. Place the ice cubes in the freezer for at least 12 hours.

step 2

Make the syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the Piloncillo (1 cup), Dried Hibiscus Flowers (1 cup), Cinnamon Sticks (2), Whole Cloves (5), Star Anise (1), Water (1 1/2 cups), Orange (1) zest and juice. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved completely, about 10 minutes.

step 3

Remove the pan from the heat and strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve, discarding the solids.

step 4

Pour the syrup back into the pan and place over medium heat. Bring the syrup back to a boil and reduce by half, about 5-10 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and let cool.

step 5

Prep the glass: Rub a slice of Lemons (to taste) on the rim of your glass. Dip the rim into the Black Lava Salt (to taste) to coat completely.

step 6

Make the cocktail: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the Ninfa Raicilla (1.3 fl oz), hibiscus syrup, Lemon Juice (0.8 fl oz), Pomegranate Juice (0.3 fl oz), and Angostura Bitters (2 dashes). Shake vigorously and strain over the flower ice cubes into the prepared glass.
