Dried Mallow 5g

Description

These edible mallow flowers are strongly-scented, mauve flowers. Mallows are closely related to the hibiscus. They have a similar savoury-sweet taste with vegetal courgette and clover notes – though mallow flowers are considerably smaller than the hibiscus, with paper-thin petals.

The beautiful, mauve mallow petals also give off colour and aromas when infused in liquids. Try adding a pinch of mallow to sugar syrups, and mix with gin to make a mallow gin sling or a ‘mallowtini’ – as well as traditional mallow flavoured marshmallows. Also, mix the mallow petals with a little hot water, and then add icing sugar for a naturally-coloured, and delicately-flavoured frosting.
