Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried hibiscus flowers
- 4 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup Lime juice
- 3 cups Cold water or sparkling water
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 3 pieces Orange slices
- 2 cups Ice cubes
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the dried hibiscus flowers and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes. This will extract the flavor and color from the hibiscus flowers.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the hibiscus tea steep for an additional 5 minutes.
Strain the hibiscus tea into a heat-safe pitcher, discarding the flowers. While the tea is still warm, stir in the granulated sugar until completely dissolved.
Allow the hibiscus tea to cool to room temperature, or refrigerate it until chilled.
Once the tea is cool, add orange juice, pineapple juice, and lime juice to the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
Add 3 cups of cold water or sparkling water, depending on your preference for a still or fizzy punch.
Stir in fresh mint leaves and orange slices to infuse additional flavor.
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the hibiscus punch over the ice. Garnish with extra mint leaves or orange slices if desired.
