Hibiscus simple syrup is fresh and tart! With a cranberry-like flavour, and hints of garden strawberries, it’s a gorgeous way to add flavour and colour to drinks. Stir some into a margarita, or your favourite no-alcohol drink over ice!

Ingredients To Make Hibiscus Simple Syrup:

  • white or cane sugar
  • water
  • dried hibiscus flowers or hibiscus tea bags
  • cinnamon sticks

What Is Hibiscus?

Hibiscus is a flower originating in Asia and the Pacific Islands. The flowers are usually dried and made into tea, which can be consumed hot or cold.

Where To Find Dried Hibsicus

Hibiscus is generally found in teabag form at most grocery stores. You can also sometimes buy whole dried hibiscus flowers in Mexican or Caribbean shops.
