Hibiscus Syrup or Tea For mixing into sparkling water, kombucha, iced tea, or rum drinks! Or hot toddy in the winter! Or just as a drink by itself. ~To make as a simple syrup (basic idea)
to use for Italian sodas 1 cup water 1 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup dried hibiscus flowers use 3-4 T syrup in each soda (so this is way too small a recipe and I need the weight on the hibiscus) (and you must be able to make more hibiscus like for tea after using the first making for syrup) ~To Make 1 gallon
Boil 1 gallon water 4 oz dried hibiscus flowers 1 lemon, peel yellow skin and steep, cut away the white and discard, squeeze and steep the rest of the lemon. Steep until cooled to room temp. Proceed with sweetening options below. ~Sweeten To drink: Stir in 1 c sugar (or 12 oz honey) while still a bit warm. ~Sweeten To use as a syrup to flavor kombucha: Stir in 1 c sugar 12 oz (1 c) honey homemade stevia to taste Keep in the fridge. ~For a hot winter drink try: Reheat syrup and infuse cinnamon, allspice and cloves. OR use my mulling spices. ~Add brandy or rum to taste. ~Probably good to just add hibiscus to hot cider too.
