Ingredients

  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups (2 ounces) dried hibiscus flowers or dried rose petals*
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 cup vodka, chilled
  • 1 cup ice

Directions

*Can be found at specialty Latin markets

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, hibiscus flowers, and sugar over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool for 25 minutes. Add the lemon juice, lime juice, and vodka.

Place the ice in a tall pitcher. Strain the hibiscus tea into the pitcher and discard the flowers. Refrigerate until ready to use.

    Where to Buy Hibiscus Free Shipping

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I live in NY but places are always out of it, I found this store over the weekend and they said they do free shipping... anywhere (tea's don't weigh anything so smart idea), Site is called youmeandtea.com . It's cheap too. I think it was 3-4.00 per ounce. I saw the posting about amazon, but not sure what they charge for shipping. Read more

    The BEST party cocktail

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made this last week and it was a HUGE hit! I live in Michigan, so I didnt have hibiscus flowers, so I used Tazo bag tea (... It was the Passion flavor, which is a combination of Hibiscus flowers and other floral tea leaves) I also cut the sugar in hlaf and I doubled the vodka. It was a fun recipie and both the men and the woman all loved it (cutting the sugar and using the lemon and lime juice really balanced the flavors.) I would highly recomend it to anyone!Read more
