  • 100 g cloves
  • 4 lemons

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash the hibiscus leaves in a clean dish to get rid of the sand, dirt, and debris. Run the faucet repeatedly to rinse twice.
  2. Slice the ginger, lemons, and pineapple using a cutting board. The cleaned hibiscus should be combined with the remaining ingredients and boiled for 30 minutes in a pot. Let it cool naturally so the flavors infuse.
  3. Decant or filter the mixture and add ice and sparkling water (optional). Serve and garnish with orange and cucumber for extra flavor.
