How to brew Hibiscus Tea:
Hot Hibiscus Tea:
- Gather your ingredients:
- 1-2 teaspoons of dried hibiscus flowers (adjust to your desired strength)
- 1 cup of boiling water
- Honey, lemon, or other sweetener (optional)
- Steep the flowers: Place the hibiscus flowers in a teapot or infuser. Pour boiling water over the flowers and let them steep for 5-10 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the tea will be.
- Strain and Enjoy: Strain the tea into a mug and discard the flowers. Sweeten with honey, lemon, or another sweetener to taste, or enjoy it plain.
Cold Hibiscus Tea:
- Gather your ingredients:
- 1/4 cup dried hibiscus flowers
- 4 cups of cold water
- Honey, lemon, or other sweetener (optional)
- Cold Brew: Place the hibiscus flowers in a pitcher or jar and pour the cold water over them. Stir gently to combine. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, for a stronger flavor.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the tea into glasses filled with ice. Sweeten with honey, lemon, or another sweetener to taste, or enjoy it plain.
Tips:
- Experiment with the amount of hibiscus flowers to find your perfect strength.
- For a more intense flavor in hot tea, try simmering the flowers and water together for a few minutes instead of steeping.
- Get creative with your cold brew! Add sliced fruit like oranges, limes, or berries for extra flavor.
- Leftover cold brew tea can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
