Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups dried hibiscus flowers
4 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ medium red onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Rinse the dried hibiscus flowers under running water for 2-3 minutes, until the water turns from deep magenta to light pink.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Boil the drained hibiscus for 10 minutes, until tender. Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let stand for 2 hours.
