Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers
  • 4 cups filtered water
  • 10-20 drops liquid stevia or sugar substitute of your choice

Instructions

  • Steep 1/2 cup of the dried flowers in 4 cups of boiling water for 10-15 minutes.
  • Add your sugar substitute and serve either hot or chilled over ice. If you would rather use date syrup, start with a small amount, a few tablespoons and increase to your desired sweetness.
  • You may also add the almost equally beneficial pomegranate juice (straight, no sweeteners) to cut the tartness.
  • Do not drink more than 1 quart per day.
