Quick Dosing Reference
Taste is personal, so start low and build: add 2 drops of Brewch Hibiscus per 100ml (about 3.4 fl oz), stir, and taste, then add 1 drop at a time until it tastes right to you. Brewch Hibiscus is highly potent: stay at or below 9 drops per 100ml in any drink; past that point it turns harsh and overpowering.
- Seltzer and sparkling water: 2-4 drops per 100ml
- Cocktails and spirits: 2-7 drops per 100ml; no more than 9
- Mocktails, kombucha, and iced tea: 2-3 drops per 100ml; no more than 5

Tasting Notes and How to Use
Aroma: Dried jamaica flower -- bright, tart, cranberry-like, with a light earthy-floral edge.
Concentration Behavior: 2 drops per 100 ml: a light hibiscus accent. 4-7 drops: full hibiscus character. Above 9 drops: can turn harsh and overpowering. In kombucha, iced tea, or a juice mocktail the base carries part of the flavor: 2-3 drops, no more than 5.
Best Pairings: Herbs & florals: mint, rosemary, lavender, lime leaf. Spices: ginger, cardamom, chili. Spirits: blanco tequila, gin, vodka, white rum. Sparkling bases: sparkling water, ginger beer, tonic water, coconut water. Fruit bridges: mango, guava berry, passion fruit, blood orange, watermelon.
Layering Partners: Use at 3:1 with Hibiscus dominant. + Lime Wedge: hibiscus lime seltzer. + Mango: floral-tropical contrast. + Guava Berry: doubled tropical tartness. + Ginger: warming botanical. As a 1-part accent under 3 parts Blood Orange or Mandarin Orange: botanical citrus layer.
Substitutes For: Hibiscus simple syrup (2-8 drops per serving in a sweet base); agua de jamaica concentrate (with sweetener and water); the cranberry-juice tart note in cocktails.
Does Not Replace: Citrus acid -- add fresh lime or lemon. Cranberry juice where the recipe needs sugar content or volume. The deep red color of brewed hibiscus.
When To Add: Add toward the end of preparation or directly in the glass; the floral aroma is volatile. For kombucha, add after fermentation.
Use With Caution: Highly potent: stay at or below 9 drops per 100 ml in any drink; past that it can turn harsh and overpowering. Choose Guava Berry for sweeter tropical-tart; Passion Fruit for pure tropical tang without earthiness; Red Grapefruit for citrus tartness without the botanical note.
Perfect for: agua fresca stand, summer garden, or sunset spritz -- and anything that calls for a deep red floral drink for a summer evening or like the jamaica at the taqueria.
