Step 1

To make this hibiscus drink, start by taking 3-4 flowers per cup of tea. I took 8 flowers to make 2 cups of tea. Remove the calyx or the green part from which the flower is attached to the plant.

Step 2

Also remove the stamen, the part from which the yellow seeds are attached.

Step 3

Wash the petals well under running water and add them to a medium-sized glass bowl.

Step 4

Boil 3 cups of water in medium-sized saucepan water and once it comes to a rolling boil, remove it from heat.

Step 5

Pour the boiling water over the petals.

Step 6

Cover the bowl and let the color from the flowers steep into the water. Steep for 10-12 minutes.

Step 7

Strain the tea using a tea strainer. Add lime juice to it and mix well. Add honey or sugar if you wish to at this stage and mix well.

Step 8

Now add some ice cubes to the serving glasses, pour the tea and serve.
