Hibiscus Simple Syrup, it’s more concentrated than the tea. This stores easily in the fridge and makes for a delicious sweetener. It also great for adding a little “pop” of color to any beverage with it’s bright pink hue. Add it to club soda, lemonade, or use it as a substitute for cranberry juice in a cosmo. Yum!~
Ingredients:
1/2 Pound Roselle Calyces
2 Cups Water
2 Cups of Sugar (or swap for Agave or Honey for a healthier alternative)
Directions:
1. In a small pot add the 1/2 pound roselle calyces with 2 cups of water, bring to a boil and then turn off. Let the roselle steep for about 20 minutes and then strain out the Calyces.
2. Typically when you making home made simple syrup there is a 1 to 1 ratio with (hot) water. In this case, you would swap the water with the roselle concentrate and mix with the same amount of sugar. Bring back up to a boil and turn off the heat
3. Pour into a clean glass jar and seal while hot. Let the liquid cool to room temperature and store in the fridge. It should last for several weeks.
We hope you’re excited to try natural sucrose from the source! Commonly mistaken for bamboo, sugar cane is native to the tropics and important on our farm. We are able to plant other crops, which need some partial shade, in between rows of the cane, like the mizuna shown in the picture below.
Cutting this tropical grass is not as cumbersome as you might think! Once you get through the husk, it’s easier to cut, no machete required! You’ll want to avoid the “joints,” because they’re very fibrous. It’s easiest to cut into cubes or sticks and we found some creative ways to enjoy fresh cut cane!
Later this season we plan to press the juice and boil it down into traditional cane syrup. You may also have seen our hand sanitizer at market, a high-proof ethanol distilled from our own sugar cane juice.
Chew on the pieces to discover the flavorful juice of the cane stalk, then take pleasure in spitting out the fiber once the juice is consumed. Did you know sugarcane contains essential nutrients like iron, magnesium and phosphorus, and the juice is beneficial for the digestive system?!
