Preparation Instructions

1. Steep the Hibiscus

In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the dried hibiscus petals. Cover and let steep for 30 minutes.

2. Strain the Liquid

After steeping, use a fine mesh strainer to strain the liquid into a large pitcher, discarding the solid hibiscus petals.

3. Sweeten the Drink

While the hibiscus tea is still warm, add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved.

4. Add Mint and Lemon

Stir in the fresh mint leaves and lemon juice into the pitcher. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

5. Serve Chilled

Once cooled, add the remaining 8 cups of cold water and ice cubes to the pitcher. Mix well and serve in glasses over ice.
