Homemade Hibiscus Simple Syrup is a versatile syrup that adds a burst of gorgeous color and delightful, sweet-tart flavor to whatever you add it to. This syrup is the perfect secret weapon for cocktails, desserts, and more!
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.
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.
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.
