Homemade Hibiscus Liqueur
With its sweet fruity flavor and gorgeous garnet hue, homemade hibiscus liqueur is the perfect addition to summer lemonades, homemade sodas, and any cocktails. Plus, it just takes 3 simple ingredients!
Equipment
- 2 quart mason jars
Ingredients
- 3 cups vodka can replace 1 cup vodka with 1 cup of water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers If using fresh, use 1 cup of flowers
Instructions
- Add the vodka, sugar, and hibiscus pieces into the quart jar. Seal and shake thoroughly.
- Shake daily for 1 week, then let the mixture infuse for an additional 2-4 weeks or until the flavor is strong.
- When ready, place the funnel and strainer into the second quart jar and strain out the hibiscus pieces. Use a spoon to gently press any extra liquid out of the pieces.
- At this point, the liqueur is ready and can be used anytime!
Notes
Store the liqueur in a sealed bottle at room temperature in a cool, dry, dark place. I usually keep mine in a kitchen cupboard or the pantry. You can also refrigerate it to enjoy chilled.
For the best flavor, use within 6 months.
