Hibiscus Soda Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Make Hibiscus Concentrate

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the dried hibiscus flowers. Let steep for about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Strain and Sweeten

    After steeping, strain the hibiscus tea into a bowl or pitcher, discarding the flowers. While the liquid is still warm, stir in the sugar until dissolved. Add lemon juice to the mixture.

  3. 3

    Cool the Concentrate

    Allow the hibiscus concentrate to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine with Sparkling Water

    In a glass, combine 1/4 cup of the chilled hibiscus concentrate with 1/2 cup of sparkling water. Adjust sweetness if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Add ice cubes to the glass, garnish with fresh mint leaves, and serve immediately.
