I'm a big fan of sangrias and was experimenting with edible flowers. The tangy flavor of hibiscus blends very well with the sweet wine and fruit flavors in this drink! I love to eat the fruit in sangria, so the fruit to liquid ratio in this recipe is high. Feel free to reduce the fruit if you'd prefer!

So if your lucky enough to be able to find hibiscus flowers in your area, then this Sangria is a must try. Not overly sweet, but the floral spiced factor is unmistakable, decidedly different, and extremely refreshing on a hot afternoon

A very refreshing drink. A bit sweet, but still quite good. I added a splash of sparkling water and liked it even more. The cinnamon and cardamom were a beautiful touch. Thank you for the recipe.
