INGREDIENTS
1 cup organic cane sugar
1 cup water

DIRECTIONS
Combine all ingredients in a deep pot.
Bring to a simmer and cook until roselle are tender and somewhat translucent.
Using
tongs, remove roselle from syrup to a plate to drain.
If thicker syrup is desired, simmer uncovered over low heat.
Allow syrup to cool. Strain into clean jar.
If using within 24 hours, refrigerate cooled roselle in one layer in covered container.
For longer storage, place roselle in jar of syrup and refrigerate.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Place one syrup-cooked roselle in the bottom of a tall fluted glass. Add a drizzle of
syrup if desired. Fill flute with champagne or sparkling cider and serve immediately.
