# How To Make It:
01 - In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat, add dried hibiscus flowers, and steep for 10 minutes. Strain and discard hibiscus flowers; set the infused tea aside to cool.
02 - While the hibiscus tea cools, puree strawberries with lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother drink, if desired.
03 - In a large pitcher, combine strained hibiscus tea, strawberry-lemon puree, sugar, and 2 cups of cold water. Stir until sugar dissolves.
04 - Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as desired. Add more water for a milder flavor, if preferred.

06 - Before serving, stir well and serve over ice. Garnish with strawberry slices, lemon wheels, and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
