Instructions

Zest the lemon.
Add the lemon zest, crushed hibiscus petals and honey, sugar or sweetener to a tea pot or ceramic bowl, then cover with boiling water. Cover and let sit for about 15 minutes to extract the flavors.
Roll the lemons on a hard surface to break up the internal membranes then juice them.
Strain the hibiscus water, then combine with the lemon juice and cold water.
Serve over ice or store in refrigerator.

Notes

Add gin or vodka to turn this into a cocktail.
