So Kkocka I think it was, asked how to find Hibiscus grenadine.
AND I was cleaning the kitchen and found some Hibiscus powder I have had for some time now.
Being as this is national pomegranate month I thought I would make some using this powder.
All you need is a few pomegranates and some simple syrup plus the Hibiscus powder.
Did not write down the ratios, but not much Hibiscus powder was needed.
The Hibiscus powder gave it a deep red color and the flavor was better than pomegranate grenadine
I have made many times in the past.

After you deseed you then Squeeze the juice out using cheese cloth into a bowl.
Toss out the seeds.
next mix the simple syrup (4oz?)and Hibiscus powder (1/2tsp?)
Now heat this not long say 10 mins.
Now add pomegranate juice say (4oz?)

Did add some vanilla sugar too cuz I like it.
This was very good!
Going to make some Sorbet out of mine.
Most of the time we make ice cubes with it and put it in our Champagne that we drink every night.
