Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup dried hibiscus flowers

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add sugar, water, and hibiscus flowers to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring often. Turn off the heat and let it sit for a couple minutes.
  2. Place the mesh strainer over a liquid measuring up and pour the contents of the sauce pan over the strainer. Use a spoon and mash the flowers, getting everything out of them. Put your funnel in the air-tight container/bottle that you want to store the syrup in.
  3. Remove the mesh strainer from the liquid measuring cup and pour the syrup into your container/bottle.  I think swing top bottles are perfect for this! Enjoy

Notes

  • This should be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.  It should be good for 2 weeks.  When it becomes cloudy or doesn’t smell right, toss it.
