Make the burnt lime simple syrup
Roll your 4 raw limes firmly against your cutting board with the palm of your hand before cutting them. This breaks the internal membranes and ensures you get maximum juice extraction on camera.
Halve and blowtorch the 2 limes (skin-side up) to a nice char.
Juice the burnt limes and the regular ones till ⅔ cup - alternatively add lime juice till ⅔ cup.
Add juice to a pot with 150g of brown sugar and the burnt lime skins.
Bring to the boil and simmer for a few minutes, then strain through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
Can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 weeks
Make the red drink
Boil 4 cups of water, add 1 cup of hibiscus tea with a 2-inch slice of ginger, and steep for 15 mins. Then strain into a pitcher and cool completely.
Add 1 cup of your burnt lime simple syrup, and the bitters and mix well
Add ice to a tall glass, and about ⅔ cup of the red drink. Top with ice cold club soda or sparkling water
Clap mint leaves between your hands to release aroma, and drop on top. Enjoy!
