Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine water, dried hibiscus flowers, minced ginger, cinnamon sticks, and orange peels. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and let cook for 3–4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing gently to extract liquid.
- Return the strained liquid to the saucepan, add sugar, and stir over low heat until dissolved.
- Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature, then transfer to a clean container and refrigerate.
- Moisten the rim of a glass with lime and dip into sugar or chili salt.
- In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine tequila, spiced hibiscus syrup, lime juice, and orange liqueur. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
- Strain over crushed ice into the prepared glass and garnish as desired.
