Tis the season to add colour and something a little floral to your life. Lots of edible flowers are in season so why not? I have created this fun and delicious Raspberry and Rose Prosecco Spritzer as a Friday treat. For more information on edible flowers visit this Canadian Living article
Makes 4
Ingredients
½ cup frozen or fresh raspberries
10 edible rose petals
1tsp rosewater
2 tsp sugar
approx. 500ml of prosecco, champagne or cava
500ml tonic water
Method
For the raspberry and rose syrup place the raspberries, rose petals, rosewater, sugar and 2 tbsp of water in a small saucepan bring to a boil for about 5 min then leave to cool. Strain through a fine sieve.
When syrup is cooled place 1 tbsp of the syrup in each glass, fill glass up 2/3 of the way with prosecco and top with tonic water.
Garnish with either edible rose petals or other edible flowers. I used very pretty Dianthus flowers.
This drink is fruity and floral but the addition of tonic water makes it not too sweet. Happy Friday everyone and have a great weekend.

I was recently reminded of something we used to make at summer camp called Bannock, an easy bread recipe that can be made on a fire using the last embers in a frying pan or wrapped around a stick.
I love how modern yet rustic this tart looks, it's an impressive dessert for any occasion, delicious served warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and best of all it's really easy to make. You can replace the fruit and herbs with anything that's in season and voilà!
