Sous Vide Hibiscus Grenadine
A self-described traveler, drinker, eater, writer, photographer, and adventurer, Zach knows when good food is on the horizon he'll turn to his Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to ensure it's perfectly done time after time.
Using your Anova Precision cooker to steep the berries (without mushing them) imparts an intense berry flavor into the syrup. It'll pop with raspberry and pomegranate in ways you didn't know was possible.
Homemade bar syrups allow you control over the product you're putting into your drinks. There are no additives hiding anywhere and you know exactly how much sugar is really in there.
This Grenadine adds the dimension of Mexican Hibiscus which gives it an earthy undertone.
Hibiscus Grenadine will be a hit with at your next party whether you're mixing cocktails or homemade sodas.
