Homemade Hibiscus Juice Video

Guys! Is anyone experiencing the heat wave? It’s sweltering that the thought on having hot lunches doesn’t sound appealing anymore! The showers are cold, blankets are packed (tossed to the side really!) and sandals and toes are out! This weekend I had to make a big bowl of fusili pasta, carrot and cucumber salad with a chilled jug of orange juice for lunch just to help us cool down. Any chance I get to pour cold water on my face I take it gleefully! One of the few ways I have been cooling down is by making large batches of this refreshing fragrant sorrel (hibiscus) juice. It is a life saver, a good base for cocktails and mocktails and all the frozen treats you can think of.

Isn’t it amazing that the simple process of drying flowers can yield so much flavor and color?! I had so much fun experimenting with and making this juice. The great part about this drink is that it is versatile. When cold, you can freeze it up and have it as a sorbet, granita, ice candy etc. When hot it makes really great tea which is perfect for the rainy weather when it comes!
