I usually use a 1:1 sugar to water ratio. With hibiscus, I like a slightly smaller amount of sugar. I also add a squeeze of lemon. For most syrups I'll use brown sugar or honey. Hibiscus almost requires white sugar (I add a touch of honey). Dissolve sugar into water. Remove from heat. Add hibiscus and lemon. Wait at least 15 min (the longer the better, but it can get bitter). I do 30. Strain and enjoy.
