In a saucepan, combine water and sugar.
1 cup water, 1 cup sugar
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
Once the mixture reaches a gentle simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the dried hibiscus flower. Let everything simmer for 5-10 minutes to infuse.
1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
Strain the syrup through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a mason jar or another airtight container.
Store the syrup air-tight in the refrigerator for up to a month.

Low temperature: Make sure the mixture doesn't get too hot or the syrup can get bitter.

Straining: Use a fine wire-mesh strainer to remove any solids from the syrup for a smooth texture.

Storage: Store the syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks for maximum freshness and flavor.
