Not Just Plain Vanilla

[bugshaw]

Casting around for a replacement for Diet Vanilla Coke (which they claim to cease making but which is often in the shops still), I have taken to adding a few crystallised violet petals to a glass of Diet Coke. As their sugar coating dissolves they release a delicate perfume and flavour, which is more than palatable.

[Though you do end up with brownish plant bits in the bottom of your drink.]
