Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • ⅛ cup dried hibiscus flowers (~2 tablespoons) Because of the irregular shape of the flowers, I find it's easier to fill a ¼-cup measuring cup halfway instead of using a tablespoon.
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add sugar and water to a small pot.  Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Turn off the heat. Add the hibiscus flowers and cover the pot. Steep for 10 minutes.Strain out the flowers and bottle the syrup.
  3. Store simple syrup in a glass jar (or airtight container) in the fridge.  Use within a month.

Notes

  • Yields: About 1 cup syrup.  Serving size estimates 1 teaspoon per serving.
