Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried hibiscus flowers (Jamaica)
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or agave syrup for vegan)
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- as desired Fresh fruit slices (optional: oranges, limes, or pineapple)
- as needed Ice cubes
Instructions
Rinse the dried hibiscus flowers under cool water to remove any impurities.
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add the hibiscus flowers. Reduce the heat and let them simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the hibiscus tea to steep for an additional 10 minutes to extract all the flavors.
Strain the tea into a large pitcher to remove the hibiscus flowers, and let it cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, stir in the pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice, and honey (or agave syrup). Mix well until the honey is fully dissolved.
Add a handful of fresh mint leaves to the pitcher and lightly muddle them with a spoon to release their aroma.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and optional fresh fruit slices (such as oranges, limes, or pineapple) for garnish.
Pour the Jamaica Fruit Cocktail into the prepared glasses and serve immediately. Stir gently before drinking to ensure all ingredients are mixed.
