Ingredients
Hibiscus Simple Syrup
- ⅔ cup maple syrup
- ⅔ cup water
- 2 tablespoons dried hibiscus flowers
Popsicles
- 1 cup of lemon juice 7 to 8 lemons
- 1 ½ cups of water
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
Instructions
- Place hibiscus into a spice grinder and pulse until coarsely chopped. You can also roughly chop with a knife.
- In a small saucepan combine hibiscus, maple syrup, and water. Bring to a boil and turn off the heat. Cover with a lid and let steep for 15 minutes.
- Strain hibiscus simple syrup through a fine-mesh strainer. Press the hibiscus flowers with a spoon to get every last drop.
- Slice lemons in half and squeeze out the juice. I like to use this lemon juicer for this step.
- Combine the hibiscus syrup, lemon juice, and water. Transfer to a bowl or measuring cup with a pour spout.
- Pour the homemade hibiscus lemonade into individual popsicle molds.
- Cap off the popsicle molds and freeze for 24 hours.
- To remove the popsicle from the mold dip in hot water for 1 minute to release the ice pop. Enjoy!
Notes
I find that maple syrup is the best replacement for granulated sugar. Honey tends is a very intense flavor once frozen.
