1
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
2
Add Hibiscus and Spices
Once the water is boiling, add the dried hibiscus petals, dried orange peel, cinnamon stick, cloves, and sliced ginger to the pot.
3
Steep the Mixture
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture steep for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
4
Strain the Tea
After steeping, remove the pot from heat and strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher, discarding the solids.

5
Add Sweeteners
To the strained hibiscus tea, add honey, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well until the sweeteners are fully dissolved.
6
Cool or Serve Warm
You can serve the tea warm or let it cool to room temperature and refrigerate it for a chilled beverage.
7
Garnish and Enjoy
Serve the tea over ice with additional lemon slices or fresh mint leaves for garnish, if desired.
