Ingredients
- 1 cup dried hibiscus flowers
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Boil Hibiscus Flowers: In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of dried hibiscus flowers to the boiling water and let it steep for about 10 minutes to extract the vibrant color and tart flavor.
- Strain the Liquid: Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the hibiscus liquid through a fine mesh sieve to remove the flowers, ensuring a clear syrup base.
- Add Sugar and Stir: Return the strained hibiscus liquid to the saucepan. Stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar while the liquid is still warm until the sugar is fully dissolved, forming a sweet syrup.
- Cool the Syrup: Allow the hibiscus tea syrup to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a clean bottle or jar. Refrigerate until chilled. The syrup can be stored for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
Notes
- You can adjust the sugar amount to taste, using less for a tart syrup or more for extra sweetness.
- Use filtered water for the best flavor clarity.
- This syrup is excellent for mixing into cocktails, iced teas, or sparkling water for a refreshing drink.
- Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
- Optionally, add a cinnamon stick during boiling for a spiced variation.
