  3. Stir in the dried culinary hibiscus flowers and cover with a lid. Let the flowers steep in the hot water for 20 minutes.
  4. Carefully strain the hibiscus tea into a fine mesh sieve to remove the flowers, discarding them. Pour the vibrant hibiscus tea into the pitcher containing the lemonade mixture. Stir well until fully combined.
  5. Serve over ice in tall glasses and garnish with fresh lemon wedges.
