Ingredients
  

  • 1 litre boiling water 4 cups
  • 15 grams hibiscus petals (or 2 teabags hibiscus-based tea)
  • 2 tablespoons honey *optional
  • 2 limes juice (about 4 tablespoons)
  • lime slices for garnish
  • mint leaves for garnish

Method
 

  1. Add the hibiscus petals or teabags to a pitcher and pour the boiling water overtop. Let this steep for a few minutes before stirring in the honey until it dissolves.
  2. Let the tea cool on the counter before removing the hibiscus or teabags - you want it to be very strong. Once it's cool, add the lime juice. Refrigerate until very cold, and serve with sliced lime, ice, and mint.
  3. This keeps well in the fridge and even improves after a day or two.

Notes

Perfect for hot summer days.
