It seems a lot of people are interesting in trying out the hibiscus tea with pomegranate so here's the actual recipe from Assassin's Creed Culinary Codex, courtesy of my below average photography skills.
The actual recipe so you don't have to squint:
20 dried hibiscus flowers
2 tablespoon (10 g) chopped ginger
2 tablespoons honey
seeds of 1 pomegranate.
Bring 4.25 cups (1 liter) of water to a gentle simmer. Add the dried hibiscus flowers and chopped ginger. Simmer for at least 15 minutes, then add the honey and mix well.
Remove the mixture form the heat and let cool. When the beverage has reached room temperature, pour the pan's contents into a pitcher (jug) and refrigerate for at least 4 houts, letting the hibiscus flowers continue to steep at the colder temperature.
When the potion is cool pour into four glasses. Garnish with a few pomegranate seeds and enjoy!
==============================
Teecup additions:
Based on Eagle of Alamut, add more honey if you wish it to taste the way Diya al-Dīn and Umar prepares it. Steep it longer if you wish to taste how the Al-Sayf family prepares it.
(If you have an actual teapot, you can just steep it there instead of a pan XD)
