Place 50 grams of hibiscus flowers in a wide-mouth jar.

Add 400 milliliters of alcohol (cereal alcohol, vodka, or aguardiente) to the jar.

Add a cinnamon stick and 3-4 cloves to the jar.

Seal the jar and let it macerate for 15 days in a dark place, shaking it every 3-4 days.

After 15 days, prepare a syrup by boiling 400 milliliters of water with 400 grams of sugar for about 3 minutes.

Let the syrup cool overnight.

Strain the macerated hibiscus mixture to remove the flowers, cinnamon, and cloves.

Measure the syrup and mix it with the strained hibiscus mixture, adjusting sweetness as desired.

Filter the mixture using a paper filter and a cloth filter to remove any larger sediments.

Transfer the filtered liquid into a bottle and seal it with a cork.

Let the liqueur sit for at least 20 days before consuming, ideally served chilled.
