Hibiscus Sparkling Cooler

Hibiscus Sparkling Cooler

Looking for a new stunning beverage to serve to friends this summer? Ever used Hibiscus before? I started drinking hot hibiscus tea for my blood pressure and started looking for other way to drink the quantity I needed (at least 3 cups a day) when it started to get hotter. I came up with this lovely and colorful mix I call a Hibiscus Cooler.

You’ll need to start with a base of Hibiscus Syrup. You can then add fun things like mint ice cubes, fresh blackberries and slices of lime to top it off.

You’ll need:

Large bottle or several smaller ones with tight fitting tops

A medium heavy bottom pot

A strainer

A median size pot that will fit all of the syrup once made

Funnel

Ingredients
  • 2 cups dried hibiscus flowers
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean
Directions
Step 1
Split the vanilla bean in half but don’t strip the beans inside.
Step 2
Add all of the ingredients to the pot and bring all of the ingredients to a boil.
Step 3
Turn down the heat and simmer for 45 minutes stirring occasionally. The liquid will boil down and coat the back of a spoon when it’s done.
Step 4
Let cool in the pot for about an hour then strain into the bowl.
Step 5
Fish out the vanilla bean and add it to the bottle. Carefully pour syrup into bottle(s). Wipe the bottles with a damp cloth and put on tops.
Step 6
If you are giving these as gifts, make sure your lid has a tight fit.
Step 7
The syrup will last up to 3 weeks in the fridge.
Step 8
Enjoy!
