- 4 cups water
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 cups cold water

Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup dried hibiscus flowers, 2 tablespoons peeled and grated fresh ginger, and 4 cups water. Simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing gently on the solids to extract all liquid.
- Step 2: Add 1 cup orange juice, 1 cup pineapple juice, and 1/2 cup honey to the bowl, then stir over low heat until honey dissolves completely (about 3-4 minutes), then let cool to room temperature.
- Step 3: Transfer the mixture to a large pitcher, add 2 cups cold water, and stir well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until chilled.
- Step 4: Just before serving, stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves and serve over ice.
