Instructions

1

Boil the Petals

Bring the water to a boil in a medium pot, add the dried hibiscus petals, grated ginger, and cinnamon stick, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes until the liquid turns a deep ruby red.

2

Sweeten the Drink

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the sugar while the liquid is still hot so it dissolves completely and evenly throughout the drink.

3

Strain and Cool

Pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher, discard the petals and spices, then allow the drink to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

Serve Over Ice

Substitutions

dried hibiscus petalshibiscus tea bags which are widely available and produce the same gorgeous color and tart flavor
fresh gingera small pinch of ground ginger which gives a milder warmth that younger children tend to prefer

Common mistakes

Adding the sugar while the liquid is still boiling on the stove which causes excess evaporation and makes the drink too concentrated
Not straining the drink thoroughly which leaves behind small pieces of petal that create an unpleasant texture in the finished drink
