Hibiscus Flower Margarita

Hibiscus Flower Margarita




1 cup dried hibiscus flowers (or 4 bags hibiscus tea)
1 cup sugar
4 cups water
1 cup tequila
Boil water and place the hibiscus flowers or tea bags into the water. Let it simmer for 10 or 15 minutes. Strained through cheesecloth or remove the tea bags and stir in sugar until dissolved. Put the hibiscus water in the refrigerator to cool.
To serve, add the tequila (more, if you’d like). Mix and pour over ice. You want to be able to taste the hibiscus, and you don't want it too sweet. You may want to add a bit of water if it is too sweet or strong.

Now...

Go, drink!!
