Ingredients
– 1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers
– 7 cups apple juice
– 1 cinnamon stick
– 3 cloves
– 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
– 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
Instructions
1-First, combine all the ingredients 1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers, 7 cups apple juice, 1 cinnamon stick, 3 cloves, 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice, and 1/3 cup fresh orange juice in a pot over medium-low heat.
2-Cover the pot and let it cook for 30 minutes to let the flavors start blending. This step gently pulls out the hibiscusβs vibrant color and tang while the spices infuse their warmth.
3-After the initial 30 minutes, remove the lid, reduce the heat, and simmer for another 30 minutes. This allows the sweet apple juice and citrus notes to meld perfectly, creating that cozy seasonal drink we all crave.
4-Once done, strain the mixture to remove the flowers and spices, ensuring a smooth texture thatβs easy to sip.
5-Serve it hot for the ultimate comfort, perhaps in mugs garnished with a slice of orange.
