- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Boil 4 cups of water in a pot and remove from heat once boiling.
- Add the dried hibiscus flowers to the hot water and let steep for about 15 minutes.
- Strain the hibiscus tea into a pitcher, discarding the flowers, and stir in the honey or sugar until dissolved. Allow to cool.

- Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour in the hibiscus-coconut mixture, and top with sparkling water to taste.

Notes
This drink is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. After that, the sparkling water may lose its fizz.
For a stronger hibiscus flavor, steep the dried hibiscus flowers longer in hot water. You can also adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or sugar according to your taste.
Consider adding fresh fruit slices like lime or orange for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal. This drink can be made ahead of time; just mix the hibiscus and coconut components and add sparkling water just before serving for maximum fizz.
