This is from Cooking Light. Hibiscus blossoms can be found at Latin grocery stores. Boiling the blossoms in a sugar-water mixture and then steeping infuses more flavor than just steeping them in warm water. This drink is especially good when made with premium-quality tequila Ingredients:
1 cup dried hibiscus flowers (about 2 ounces) |
3 cups water |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 1/4 cups tequila |
1/2 cup fresh lime juice |
1/3 cup triple sec or 1/3 cup other orange-flavored liqueur |
8 lime slices |
Directions:
1. Place blossoms in a strainer; rinse under cold water.
2. Combine blossoms, water, and sugar in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Strain; discard blossoms.
4. Cover and chill hibiscus mixture.
5. Combine hibiscus mixture, tequila, juice, and Triple Sec.
6. Serve over ice. Garnish with lime slices.
