Makes about 12 ounces 2 cups water 56 grams (6 ounces) dried hibiscus flowers Small pinch of citric acid (available at specialty stores and from Amazon) In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the hibiscus, and let steep for at least 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes. Add the citric acid and stir well to combine.
