Hibiscus flowers bring an added astringency and deep magenta color to homemade kombucha. It’s delicious served over ice in the summertime.

Makes about 3 quarts (12 servings)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup dried hibiscus flowers
  • 12 cups prepared kombucha tea
Bring the sugar and water to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved. Turn off the heat and drop in the hibiscus flowers.
