"(in markets they are frequently labeled Jamaica and cost about a quarter of what "Dried Hibiscus Flowers" cost)"

Good to know I will try this.
I like to know where things come from even if I may only make the real deal once.

"Hmmm... that may be too loose to be grenadine."
It is a bit thinner for sure.

"Would say buy pomegranate juice (cooking will lose any of the fresh flavor qualities anyway"

I should have been more clear on that part as I don't cook the juice because it does mess with the flavor.
Put the fresh pomegranate juice in at last after the heat is off and has cooled some.
You heat only to dissolve the Hibiscus powder, not to reduce.

"I would say buy pomegranate juice"
Have used the POM Wonderful® pomegranate juice concentrate, it is good but not as good to me.($15.00 per bottle?}

One more thing,
I like to buy odd spices like Hibiscus powder online from my spice sage.
Cool stuff here at my spice sage.
