Tea
o 1-quart sized jar o 4 tsp hibiscus flowers o 1 quart boiling water o 4 tsp rosemary simple syrup o A squeeze of fresh lemon
Rosemary Simple Syrup
o 4 sprigs of freshly cut rosemary o 1 cup of sugar o 1 cup of water
METHOD
Pour boiling water over 4 tea spoons of hibiscus flowers in a quart-sized jar. Let steep for five minutes.
Strain out the flowers and stir in 4 teaspoons of rosemary simple syrup or until the sweetness is desired. Squeeze in a fresh lemon and pour over edible floral ice cubes. Garnish with a rosemary sprig!
Rosemary Simple Syrup
In a medium saucepan, bring sugar and water to a slow boil. Whisk until dissolved. Remove from the heat and add in sprigs of rosemary. Cover and let steep for 30 minutes.
Strain out rosemary, and pour it into a glass bottle. I keep mine refrigerated and use in mocktails or to sweeten tea!
