Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil water and steep the dried hibiscus flowers for 10-15 minutes until the liquid transforms into a concentrated, vibrant ruby hue.
  2. In a large pitcher, combine the steeped hibiscus tea with freshly squeezed citrus juice and your chosen sweetener. Stir well, adjusting the sweetness to suit your taste.
  3. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least an hour, letting the flavors blend beautifully.
  4. Pour over ice-filled glasses, add a sprig of mint, and top with sparkling water just before serving. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Optional: Garnish with slices of citrus or berries for an extra pop of color and flavor.

Notes

Start with high-quality dried hibiscus flowers to ensure rich flavor and beautiful color. Adjust sweetness as it chills to enhance the refreshing drink experience. Freeze hibiscus base in ice cube trays for convenient future use.
