For a spicier syrup, add a small piece of chili pepper along with the ginger. Use organic hibiscus flowers for the purest flavor. This syrup is delicious drizzled over pancakes or waffles. Try using this syrup in a vinaigrette for a unique salad dressing. The syrup can also be frozen for longer storage.
