Roselle Syrup
Roselle Drink (per serving)
Method
Roselle Syrup
Prepare the roselle infusion
In a medium saucepan, combine the dried roselle petals, sliced ginger, and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to fully extract the flavor and color from the petals.
Sweeten and strain
Add the sugar to the simmering mixture and stir until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container to remove the petals and ginger slices.
Add lemon juice
Stir in the fresh lemon juice to balance the tartness and enhance the flavor. Let the syrup cool completely before using.
Roselle Drink (per serving)
Assemble the drink
In a glass, combine 1/4 cup of the prepared roselle syrup with 3/4 cup cold water or sparkling water. Stir well to mix.
Add ice cubes to chill the drink.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon, if desired. Serve immediately for a refreshing beverage.
