Hibiscus Tea

  5. Add sugar and stir well to combine.

  3. Stir well with spoon to combine fully.
Garnishing
  1. Place salt and tajin onto a plate large enough for the tops of serving glasses, combining the seasonings well.
  2. Double over the paper towel to fit onto the surface of another, same sized, plate.
  3. Juice the half lime onto the paper towel to soak it.
  4. Place the rims of each glass onto the surface of the paper towel, moistening them.
