  • Transfer the both flower and water to bottle and chill it for 3 hours or overnight for better infusion. If you are using sugar, add to the infusion now.
  • When you are ready to serve, strain the flower and squeeze the juice well and dilute with water enjoy with ice.

Notes

You can flavor this drink with ginger, allspice, and cinnamon whiles you chilling the infusion. 
You also increase the sugar /or any sweetener if you want to use. I used without any sugar.
 I don’t advise to add any tea flavors as it will spoil the flavor to Hibiscus. 
You also make simple syrup to  sweeten the drink.
