Bissap Lemonade Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Bissap
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the dried hibiscus flowers and let them simmer for 15 minutes.
Strain the Mixture
After simmering, remove the pot from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to separate the liquid from the hibiscus flowers.
Mix in Sugar and Lemon Juice
Add the granulated sugar to the strained hibiscus liquid while it's still warm, stirring until dissolved. Then, add the fresh lemon juice and mix well.
Dilute and Chill
Add the remaining 4 cups of cold water to the pitcher. Stir well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill before serving.
Serve
Serve the bissap lemonade over ice and garnish with lemon slices if desired.
