Print Recipe

Equipment

Ingredients

1 ½ cup water
1 ½ cup brown sugar
1 cup dried hibiscus
2 inches fresh ginger
1 cinnamon stick
2 cloves

Instructions

Add water, brown sugar, dried hibiscus, ginger, cinnamon stick, and cloves to a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir ingredients until brown sugar is dissolved then bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Turn off heat and allow syrup to cool then strain out solid ingredients.

Notes

Preparation

You can make this syrup up to six days ahead of time.

For stronger flavor, let the solid ingredients continue to steep as the syrup cools rather than straining them out right away.

Modifications

If needed, you can substitute brown sugar with granulated sugar, coconut sugar, honey, agave or maple syrup in 1:1 ratio.

Storage

Store in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep for one to two weeks this way.

To freeze hibiscus flavored simple syrup, transfer it into a freezer safe container and store up to three months. I recommend freezing in molds such as ice cube trays for easier thawing and use.
