While we love it in the Hibiscus Latte, it can also be added to fresh lemonade, mixed into cocktails or mocktails, or added to a glass of champagne for a festive toast. The syrup can stay refrigerated for up to 3 weeks.

Ingredients

2cups water
½cup granulated sugar
8hibiscus tea bags

Preparation

1. Put the water and sugar into a heavybottomed saucepan set over medium
heat. Heat until the sugar has fully
dissolved. Remove from heat and add
the tea bags. Allow to steep for 30
minutes.
2. Remove the tea bags and cool fully
prior to use.

Lemongrass Syrup

Lemon grass can be found in many larger supermarkets, or specialty stores. It is in the produce section and is a long, brittle stalk (look for green stalks, not ones that are brown and peeling at the ends, for that means that they are past their prime). If you cannot locate it in the produce section, try looking in the frozen food aisles (and if you are lucky, it's already chopped!). Peel away the outer leaf and use the inner, fresher stalk.
