Level: Easy
Ingredients

- ½ cups Dried hibiscus petals
- ¼ cups Maple syrup

Preparation
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Place the hibiscus and maple syrup in a carafe or heatproof bowl and pour the hot water over it. Infuse the hibiscus for 15 minutes.
Strain the tea mixture. Add the remaining cold water, lemon juice and vodka (if using). Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes: If you add alcohol, you may want a little more maple syrup. I tried to make them healthier by keeping the sweetness to a minimum.
