Ingredients

• 1 cup Dried hibiscus flowers
• 4 cups Water
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 pound Fresh strawberries
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 6 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

Step 2

Add the dried hibiscus flowers to the boiling water and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sugar until fully dissolved.

Step 4

Allow the hibiscus mixture to cool completely, then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the flowers. Discard the flowers.

Step 5

While the hibiscus mixture is cooling, hull and slice the fresh strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on size.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the cooled hibiscus syrup and lime juice. Stir to coat the strawberries evenly.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve the strawberries chilled, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired.
