• 5 cups water
• 1 lemongrass stalk, thinly sliced, plus more stalks for serving
• 1/4 cup honey, or more to taste (may sub coconut sugar or maple syrup for vegan version)
• 1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers**
• 3/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, plus more for serving
• 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice, plus lime slices for serving

Bring the water to a boil in a medium size pot. Remove from the heat and add the lemongrass, honey, hibiscus flowers and basil leaves. Cover and let steep for 20 minutes. Strain into a pitcher and discard the used lemongrass, hibiscus flowers and basil.

Stir in the lime juice and taste, if needed add more honey. Chill until cold. Serve over ice with a fresh lemongrass stalk, basil and lime. Enjoy!

**I buy my dried hibiscus from Amazon.
