Ingredients
- 2 hibiscus tea bags, such as Allegro Hibiscus Spice

Method
Put tea bags in a heatproof cup and pour 1/2 cup boiling water over them, stirring gently to submerge bags. Steep for 10 minutes, then remove tea bags and gently squeeze out excess liquid.
Combine tea and sugar in a small saucepan. Set over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring. Continue to simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
