This recipe is my own creation, recently got published in a cookbook exclusively for Oman.
I have used fresh pesticide free organic hibiscus flowers from my garden, you can make this from store bought dry hibiscus. Its a great cooler with many health benefits.

To prepare hibiscus syrup boil water, add sugar, cinnamon sticks and let it infuse.

Add hibiscus petals and lemon juice, boil for 5 minutes and turn off the flame.
