I was pretty sure when I watched this on TV, she started with 8 cups of water.and used 1 1/2 Cups sugar.I also used a reviewers recommendation and used Tazo Passion tea bags.from Starbucks. I used 8 tea bags and let them steep about 15 minutes. After if cooled I added 1 cup Absolute Hibiscus flavored vodka and the citrus juice. It is amazingly good. Sneaky. One of those drinks you could easily drink without noticing the alcohol! Loved it. Having it for my Ladies Swap Party~

In Trinidad and Tobago we call Hibiscus "Sorrel" it's a drink we make for Christmas, we add clove and Cinnamon and bay leaf while the "Sorrel" steeps. Yes its a lovely drink.

Gonna try this tonite. Love hibiscus tea and vodka so what could go wrong? If the fact that the ingredients aren't in a cute little bowl keeps someone from trying any of these recipes that's just their loss. I think she is keeping it real. No one has all of my ingredients in cute little bowls when I prepare meals, and half the time it takes me awhile to find stuff in my own kitchen. I love the new show!
