The hibiscus, plumeria, and cassis petals are such a sweet-fruity flower smell that it reminds you of nectar instead of dry, dead flowers. Whereas most floral smells are dry, musky, and almost stifling this fragrance oil is sweet and almost a bit tangy.
Bring four cups of filtered water to a boil. Infuse your hibiscus in the four cups of hot water for at least 10 minutes. Taste for strength and steep more if you prefer. At this time you are welcome to introduce lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon. (You can always add more sugar later, of course.)
