Hibiscus (roselle) juice

Inspired by a drink I first encountered at a museum cafe back in 2014, this iced cranberry-tasting drink is made by boiling and steeping the sepals of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) flower.

Standard Italian affogato consists of a scoop of vanilla gelato drowned in a shot of espresso. That’s too small a serving for something so good so we double the ice cream and coffee, and add a shot of Kahlua.

Iced jasmine tea

This isn’t a powdered mix that you just drop into a glass, add water and ice, and stir. We’re partial to loose tea leaves at home so that’s what we use to make iced tea.
