Method
 

  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil in a medium-sized pot.
  2. Once boiling, remove the pot from heat and add the dried hibiscus flowers and fresh mint leaves to the water.
  3. Cover the pot and let the mixture steep for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  4. Strain the tea into a pitcher to remove the hibiscus flowers and mint leaves.
  5. Stir in honey (if using) and freshly squeezed lime juice until fully dissolved.
  6. Let the tea cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until chilled.
  7. Serve the tea over ice cubes in glasses and garnish with extra fresh mint leaves.

Notes

You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey. For a stronger mint flavor, add extra mint leaves while steeping.
