2. Syrup and Jam
Boil 1 ounce of dried Roselle flowers with 2 liters of water over low heat. Boiled down to half for 30 minutes, and then mixed with enough sugar.
Syrup does not use preservatives. Moreover, the sugar itself serves as a natural preservative drinks. Syrup endurance can reach 4 months with a better storage. Try to keep the syrup in a glass bottle or glass because plastic bottles are not good for health.
It would be better if before closing, boiling bottles back to the bacteria die so sterile packaging. If to reduce cholesterol and suppress blood sugar levels, Roselle syrup should not be consumed with sugar.
The same material is also needed if you want to process Roselle flowers into jams, but the amount of water is reduced and the time required boiling a little longer.
