Step 1

Place the dried fruit, hibiscus flowers, dried chilies (if using), and water in a saucepan. Bring to boil then reduce and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

Remove from the heat and let cool down for 10-15 minutes. You can add the sugar now, so it dissolves more easily in the hot mixture.

Step 3

Place the mixture in a blender and blend to a smooth consistency. Add the lime, salt, and tajin and blend again.

Step 4

Pass through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp.

Step 5

Keep it in an airtight glass container in the fridge (up to 2 months) or freezer (up to 6 months).
