Ingredients:

2 cups Fresh Hibiscus Flowers or ½ cup dried Hibiscus Flower

8 cups Water

¼ cup Honey add more if you like your tea sweeter

3 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice

Method:

Use only the flower petals

Bring the hibiscus flowers and water to a boil in a large pot. Once the water starts boiling, switch off the flame and cover the vessel. At this point, you can also add other herbs or add ins such as basil, lemon grass, lemon zest etc. Let the tea steep for 15-20 minutes. Mix in the honey and lime juice till completely combined. Strain the tea.

You can either serve hibiscus tea warm or you can chill it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Either way it tastes delicious!

Notes:

Add Ins: You can add some of your favorite flavors to this tea. Basil, lemon grass, lemon zest and mint all taste really nice with hibiscus

Sweetness: We prefer our tea moderately sweet but feel free to add more honey or even replace it with sugar if you like

Do not steep the petals for too long as this will make it bitter tasting.

Honey can be substituted with sugar or jaggery.

Tea should always be served hot immediately.
