"Roselle syrup is made from roselle flowers, properly known as Hibiscus sabdariffa. This plant, which has significant roots in African history, produces red and fleshy bulbs underneath the flowers that are both edible and incredibly versatile. When you make (or purchase) roselle syrup, you'll notice that it has a deep red or almost magenta shade, making it an aesthetic choice for topping anything from pancakes to ice cream."
"The popularity of this sweet ingredient means it won't be hard to find, especially on the shelves of a specialty grocery store or even at your local farmer's market. Even options on Amazon - like this Karibbean Flavours Sorrel Hibiscus Concentrate - will do the trick. It also doesn't take much to learn how to flavor simple syrup at home, and roselle is one versatile flavor you can try to add for both a beautiful color and a delightful, floral flavor."
Roselle syrup is produced from roselle flowers (Hibiscus sabdariffa), a plant with roots in African history that yields red, fleshy bulbs beneath the flowers. The syrup has a deep red or magenta color and a mildly sweet, slightly floral flavor that complements desserts and beverages without overpowering them. The ingredient is widely available at specialty grocers, farmer's markets, and online marketplaces, including hibiscus concentrates. Homemade syrup is simple: heat 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup hibiscus, steep 15–30 minutes, cool, and store in an airtight jar. Use the syrup on pancakes, ice cream, French toast, and in drinks.
