hibiscus vodka pops

Place the hibiscus flowers or tea bags in a heatproof jug, add 500 ml (18 fl oz/2 cups) boiling water and leave for 15 minutes to infuse.

Remove the flowers or tea bags, add the agave syrup and stir until dissolved. Add the vodka and leave to cool slightly.

Pour into 10 x 60 ml (2 fl oz/¼ cup) capacity popsicle moulds. Cover with plastic wrap and insert a stick through the plastic into each pop. Freeze for 8–10 hours or until completely frozen.

NOTE: Dried hibiscus flowers and agave syrup are available from health food shops.
