Útmutatók

Prep lemon sugar: Zest 1 of the lemons, removing just the yellow zest (avoid white pith). Add to a heatproof bowl with ½ cup granulated sugar. Use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar.

Steep: Add ¼ cup dried hibiscus to the sugar mixture. Pour 1 cup boiling water over top. Stir well to dissolve the sugar. Then let steep until the mixture has cooled to room temperature.

Juice lemons: Roll 3 to 4 lemons on the counter, then cut in half and squeeze until you have ⅔ cups of fresh lemon juice. Set aside (see note 3). (Save any extra juice for another use).

Combine: Once the hibiscus mixture has cooled, strain into a large pitcher (at least 5 cups/1.25 L capacity). Add the ⅔ cups of fresh lemon juice and 3¼ cups cold water. Stir to mix. Taste and adjust as needed (e.g. more sugar, lemon or water). Pour into glasses filled with ice and serve (see note 4). Refrigerate extras.
