Hibiscus Infused Simple Syrup
Equipment
- sauce pot
- Sieve
Ingredients
- 2 Cups cane sugar
- 2 Cups water
- 2 Cups hibiscus ( fresh calyces with Seeds removed)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredient in a saucepan.
- Bring to a gentle simmer and simmer until sugar is completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat and let cool.
- Strain once or twice with a sieve to remove softened calyces.
- Then transfer to a glass bottle, seal and store in the refrigerator for up to a month
Notes
- If using dried calyces, you'll need far less than the fresh. Start with half a cup.
- Reserve the soft fresh calyces after straining for baked goods. Don't let them go to waste. Not so much for the dried calyces. They will not be as tender as the fresh ones.
