Determination of best treatment of all parameters of the study was conducted by using the effectiveness test. The result of this research on treatment of rosella extract concentration 3,75% and sugar 58%, with result value (NH) that is 0,86 with average parameter of vitamin C content = 19,17%, sugar content reduction 2,44% , flavor = 5.20 (kinda like), aroma = 4.38 (neutral), color = 5.65 (kinda like) and elasticity = 5.13 (kinda like).
