First, wash the dried hibiscus and the peppermint leaves thoroughly to remove any sand and dirt. 

Then put it in the pot, add water and bring it to a boil. Leave it to simmer for some time. 

Remove it from the fire/gas and sieve it into a bowl. 

Return the sieved hibiscus and mint to the pot, add more water and boil again until all the flavour is drained of the hibiscus and peppermint. 

Sieve again and add sugar and essence to the taste. 

Put in the refrigerator to cool down. The cold drink is then ready to be served.
