Light and refreshing!

This recipe couldn't be simpler - boil some dried hibiscus flowers, let cool, strain, and add simple syrup.

I ran out of sugar - and could only add 1/2 C simple syrup (instead of 3/4 C). For me, this lower sugar is perfect - the tart hibiscus flavor really sings. But for 13 daughter, we need a bit of extra sweetness.

I do not tend to make iced tea, but this recipe could make me a convert. I found large bins of dried hibiscus at our hispanic markets, but I think you could make the same drink with lemon zinger tea.
