1 cinnamon stick
1 whole clove

2 limes, cut into wedges
Combine water, hibiscus petals, cinnamon, clove, allspice, and nutmeg in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from heat and stir in sugar until dissolved, about 1 minute. Cool syrup to room temperature, about 1 hour. Refrigerate until ready to use. Make hibiscus coolers by filling 10 glasses with ice.
