Ingredients
1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers
4 ounces piloncillo, roughly chopped (or 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar)
2 apples (1 red, 1 green), cut into wedges
1 pear, cut into wedges
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
1/2 cup pitted prunes
3 cinnamon sticks, plus more for garnish
3/4 cup guava nectar
Tequila, rum or brandy, for serving (optional)
Directions
- Wrap the hibiscus flowers in a piece of cheesecloth. Add to a large pot along with the piloncillo, apples, pear, pineapple, prunes, cinnamon sticks and 7 cups water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the piloncillo. Reduce the heat and simmer gently, 15 minutes.
- Discard the hibiscus. Continue simmering until the fruit has softened, about 15 minutes. Stir in the guava nectar. Ladle into mugs; add tequila, rum or brandy, if desired. Garnish with cinnamon sticks.
