How to Make Hibiscus Simple Syrup

To make our hibiscus simple syrup, you'll need just three ingredients: water, sugar, and hibiscus Punch tea. Start by combining 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan. Add 1/4 cup of loose hibiscus punch tea to the mixture and bring it to a boil. Once the sugar is dissolved, reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture into a jar. You can use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any solids from the syrup. Once the syrup has cooled, it's ready to use in your favorite recipes.

How to Use Hibiscus Syrup

One of the great things about hibiscus simple syrup is its versatility. You can use it to sweeten cocktails, mocktails, and other beverages, or drizzle it over desserts like ice cream or cake. The bright red color of the syrup also makes it a great addition to any dish that could use a pop of color.

Hibiscus simple syrup is especially useful because it brings both flavour and colour to summer drinks. Its tart, floral taste pairs well with citrus, berries, sparkling water, iced tea, and mocktails, making it an easy ingredient to keep on hand for warm-weather recipes.
