As kids my sister and I would always drink cold hibiscus mixed with fresh lime juice and I suspect a fairly heavy dose of sugar! I adore hibiscus and this is the perfect way to cool down on a hot day and makes a great addition to any barbecue or picnic! If you can't find hibiscus, cranberry juice also works quite well.
