Ingredients:
- Fresh Hibiscus Flower

- Fresh Ginger
- Grains of Selim
- Cloves
- Red Chili Pepper
- Red Peppercorn
- Sweetener (Sugar or Honey, as per your preference)
Method of Preparation:
- Extracting Hibiscus Flower Juice: Begin by soaking the hibiscus flowers in water for several hours. This process allows the flowers to release their vibrant red juice. Once soaked, strain the hibiscus flowers into a cooking pot to obtain the rich, crimson juice.
- Simmering the Hibiscus Flower Juice: Place the cooking pot on low heat and let the hibiscus flower juice simmer gently for approximately 10 minutes. This enhances the flavors and extracts the essence of the flowers.
- Cooling the Hibiscus Juice: After simmering, pour the beautifully fragrant hibiscus juice into a separate bowl and allow it to cool to perfection.
- Preparing Pineapple Goodness: Peel the ripe pineapple, and don’t let the peels go to waste! Put the peels into a cooking pot, add water, and set it on the stove to boil. The boiled peels will be later used to infuse the main pineapple with delightful flavor.
- Blending Pineapple: Cut the pineapple fruit into smaller pieces and place them into a blender. Add the juice extracted from the boiled pineapple peels to the blender and blend the mixture until it becomes a smooth and luscious pineapple puree.
- Creating the Spice Blend: In the same blender, add the fresh ginger, grains of Selim, cloves, red chili pepper, and red peppercorn. Add some water to facilitate blending, and blend until you achieve a smooth and aromatic spice mixture.
- Straining the Spice Blend: Strain the blended spices to obtain a liquid that’s rich in exotic flavors and tantalizing aroma.
- Bringing it All Together: Now, you have three essential components – the hibiscus flower juice, the pineapple puree, and the spice blend. Combine the pineapple juice with the hibiscus flower juice to create a harmonious blend of tropical sweetness and floral notes.
- Adding the Final Touch: As per your preference, introduce the spices and sweetener to the mixture. This step allows you to tailor the drink to your desired level of spiciness and sweetness.
- Stir and Serve: Stir the concoction thoroughly to ensure all the flavors are well-distributed. The Pineapple-Hibiscus Spice Fusion is now ready to be served and savored.
