Roselle Harvest and Drink

In one harvest I usually get more the thirty fruits. Many a times, I've given them away.
Sometimes, I will make a drink from this .... that's the easiest thing to do. Boil a pot of water ... I use 2 litres and peel the bracts out of thirty roselle fruits as shown below. Then after the water has boiled turn off the fire and dump the entire fruits together with the peeled calyx. Cover the pot and wait for about 15-20 minutes. The water will turn blood red. The taste is tangy and I like it, so I drink it straight without adding any sugar. It is especially refreshing if it's chilled.
