Welcome once again to the Oriental Market blog. With this heat it is important to hydrate, for this reason we bring you a cool cocktail to make it in your summer nights.

It was brought to Japan from China over 1000 years ago, and has long been loved during the late winter and early spring months for its beautiful pink flowers.
