10-Minute Hibiscus Syrup

by Lola Dweck
Hibiscus Syrup is a flavorful simple syrup made by infusing dry hibiscus flowers with water and sugar. The syrup takes on a deep pomegranate color, which looks lovely in cocktails, champagne and sparkling water. It's also great served over ice cream, waffles, pancakes, and on fruit.
