Bring 6 qt. water to a boil. Add hibiscus blossoms, remove mixture from heat, cover, and steep about 30 minutes. Strain mixture, discarding blossoms; add about 1 qt. water, or enough to make the liquid a deep rose color. Add sugar to taste. Chill well. Serve over ice, adding a slice of lime to each glass.
