Directions

For the concentrate

1. Crush the hibiscus and roughly crack the cloves, cardamom, timur pepper berries, and black peppercorns in a mortar and pestle. Zest the orange in thin strips using a vegetable peeler.
2. Put 2 cups of water into a small saucepan and add the hibiscus, cracked spices, orange zest, cinnamon stick, and ground turmeric. Set the heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until liquids reduce to 1 cup, about 20 minutes. Add the honey and salt and stir to dissolve.
3. Pour the concentrate through a fine mesh strainer into an airtight container and discard the solids. Store, refrigerated, for up to 1 week.

For the mocktail

1. Pour the zero negroni concentrate into a rocks glass, add the ice, and top with tonic or soda water. Stir gently.
2. Squeeze the orange zest over the glass to express the volatile oils, then it drop into the drink to garnish.
