For a more intense hibiscus flavor, allow the syrup to steep overnight in the refrigerator before straining. Adjust the amount of sugar to your personal preference. Taste the syrup as it cools and add more if needed. Experiment with other citrus fruits, such as oranges or grapefruit, for a unique twist. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs or edible flowers for an elegant presentation. If you prefer a less sweet drink, use unsweetened sparkling water. The hibiscus syrup can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
