Tasting notes and description

Definitely a fruity taste with a very very mild hint of sage. Medium-red flowers and a pineapple aroma and flavour to its leaves.

Uses

I've used mine in a cocktail, making both the simple syrup infused with the leaves as well as crushing it with lime and rum. I used the flowers as garnish on the mojito and they are edible, taste is slightly sweet
