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.
