Hibiscus was named the 2022 flavor of the year, and I am here for it! These Hibiscus Drink recipes are fun, flavorful, and pretty to look at! We’ve seen this flavor pop up in baked goods and other various recipes, but I wanted to find an easy way to make it at home. Enter- hibiscus syrup! Today I am sharing 5 drink recipe ideas that all call for Hibiscus Syrup! Let’s make them!
What is Hibiscus?
Before we dive into all the ways you can add hibiscus to your drinks, let’s talk about the flavor profile we are working with!
The flavor profile of hibiscus is tart and floral, but it can also be a bit sour and has fruity notes. It has a vibrant red color too!
It can also help boost your immune system and may help to prevent cell damage caused by free radicals in the body. This can reduce your risk of developing many significant health complications.
But most of all, it’s simply fun to play around with the flavor of the year!
