Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Hibiscus Popcorn
  1. Begin by air popping ½ cup of high-quality popcorn kernels in an air popper. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Once popped, spread the fluffy popcorn onto a large baking sheet, ensuring it’s in an even layer.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt ¼ cup of butter or coconut oil over medium heat. Once melted, add ½ cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of hibiscus powder, stirring continuously until the mixture begins to bubble.
  3. Carefully pour the hibiscus glaze over the popped popcorn, using a silicone spatula to mix thoroughly. Gently fold the popcorn for about 2-4 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Spread the coated popcorn evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until the popcorn is golden and crisp.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the popcorn cool completely for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
