✨TO MAKE HIBISCUS SODA

For the tea
¼ cup dried hibiscus leave + any add-ins you desire
1 cup boiled water

For The Hibiscus Soda
1 cup hibiscus liquid (cooled completely)
⅓ cup sugar
3 cups water
½ -⅔ cup ginger bug liquid

1. Steep the hibiscus leaves (any any optional add-ins) in boiled water for 30 minutes to make a strong tea.

2. Strain the tea and stir in the sugar.

3. Add 3 cups of water. By diluting the tea this way, you cool it down faster and can add the ginger bug sooner, which speeds up preparation.

4. Once the tea has cooled to room temperature, add the ginger bug. Give the ginger bug a good stir to incorporate the yeast from the bottom of the jar. Strain it and add ½- ⅔ cup to your mixture depending on how strong your ginger bug is. (add more for a weaker ginger bug)

5. Pour the mixture into glass swing-top bottles and store at room temperature in a cupboard or box to carbonate.

6. Burp the bottles every day or two to release carbon dioxide and prevent explosions — just open and close the bottle quickly.

7. After about 3-7 days, your drink is ready. You know it’s ready when you notice a thin layer of foam at the top and the drink reaches a level of carbonation to your liking.

8. Store the soda in the fridge and it typically lasts 2 to 4 weeks. The carbonation may continue to build slowly, so always open the bottle carefully. The flavor may become slightly more tangy over time, but it remains safe to drink as long as it smells pleasant and shows no signs of spoilage. Enjoy!

🫚PRO TIP: Make sure the hibiscus liquid is cooled completely before adding the ginger bug. If you add your ginger bug to hot tea, the microbes will die and your drink will not ferment.
