2. Combine and Simmer

   Place the hibiscus, pineapple skin, orange slices, lemon slices, mint leaves, and ginger into the large pot. Add 2 L of water, cover, and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and let simmer for 45‑60 minutes.

3. Cool and Strain

   Remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes. Then pour the liquid through a fine mesh cheesecloth into a clean bowl, squeezing the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
