Instructions

  • Add the water, sugar and dried hibiscus flowers to a small saucepan.
  • Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and, stirring occasionally, bring to a boil.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Using a fine mesh strainer and a funnel, strain the hibiscus flowers out of your syrup while you pour the syrup into your storage container.
  • You can use the syrup right away, or seal the storage container and store it in the refrigerator for around 2 weeks. Discard at any sign of mold.
