Preparation Instructions
Prepare Hibiscus Tea
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the dried hibiscus flowers and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
Strain the Tea
After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Strain the tea into a pitcher using a fine mesh strainer to remove the hibiscus flowers.
Sweeten the Tea
While the tea is still warm, add 1 cup of sugar and stir until dissolved. Adjust sweetness according to taste.
Add Lime Juice
Stir in the lime juice to the sweetened hibiscus tea.
Serve
To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes, pour the hibiscus drink over the ice, and garnish with mint leaves.
