Hibiscus Punch
A chilled, ruby-hued drink made by steeping hibiscus flowers and lightly sweetening; can be spiced or used as a cocktail mixer.
This bright beverage, inspired by Caribbean sorrel drink and Mexican agua de Jamaica, is made by steeping hibiscus flowers to extract flavor -- and color. It is then lightly sweetened and served chilled, like iced tea. Add cinnamon, ginger and allspice if you wish. It makes a great ruby-colored cocktail mixer as well.
