how to make a hibiscus drink

The first time I drank some hibiscus juice, was from a bottle from Fiji.  I bought it specially to try it because I grew up in Malaysia and the Hibiscus is the National flower.  I have not heard of anyone drinking it.

 

Since then, I have learned to make the drink. Hibiscus is full of vitamin C and high in antioxidants.

 

step1: boil 5 cups of water.

step 2: pick 10 fully opened hibiscus flower.

step 3: remove the stamen and the back of the flower.

step 4: rinse the flower.

step 5: remove water from heat.

step 6: stir in the flowers, cover and let it steep for 20 minutes.

step 7: infusion is done. you get a dark purple colour.

step 8: add sugar or honey to taste.

step 9: when infusion has cooled, remove the petals.

Step 10: add one lemon juice. you get a beautiful red colour.

step 11: add ice and drink.

 

It tastes like ribena.
