Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried hibiscus flowers
- 5 cups water
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 0.5 cup lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 2 cups club soda
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 orange orange slices
- 3 cups ice cubes
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 5 cups of water to a boil.
Add the dried hibiscus flowers to the boiling water and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flowers to steep and release their vibrant color and flavor.
Strain the hibiscus tea through a fine mesh sieve into a large mixing bowl or pitcher. Discard the spent flowers.
While the tea is still warm, stir in the honey until fully dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, add the orange juice, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and ground cardamom to the hibiscus mixture. Stir well to combine.
Refrigerate the punch base for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, pour the chilled punch base into a large punch bowl or serving pitcher. Gently stir in the club soda to add a fizzy element.
Add fresh mint leaves, orange slices, and ice cubes to the punch to enhance flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing Ethiopian-inspired party punch!
