ingredients
- 12 Fresh Hibiscus Flowers (or 5-6 Teaspoons of Dried Hibiscus)

- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Berries - Plus Extra for Garnish

Method
Step 1
Firstly, remove the leaves, stem and pollen part of the hibiscus flower. Thoroughly wash the petals to remove any stray bugs and pollen.
Step 2
Boil 4 cups of water in a saucepan and then turn off the heat once it reaches boiling point.
Step 3
Next, add the sugar and stir until it dissolves.
Step 4
Add the hibiscus petals and mint leaves and place the saucepan lid back on to lock in all of those lovely essential oils and aromas.
Step 5
Allow to infuse for 10-15 minutes before straining out the petals and mint. It’s best to not over steep the petals or it will turn bitter.
Step 6
Add the lemon juice and allow to cool a little.
Step 7
In a jug, add lots of ice, berries and slices of orange. Pour over the hibiscus tea.
Step 8
Add a shot of Pimm's, slices of oranges, berries, mint and ice to each glass and top up with the hibiscus iced tea.
Step 9
Feel free to omit the Pimm's to enjoy a delicious Pimm's mocktail :)
