Description
Cold brew hibiscus tea is a delicious summer beverage. Tart, slightly sweet, and super refreshing! Its said to have health benefits and antioxidants too.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons dried hibiscus loose leaf tea
- 4 cups water
- ice cubes for serving
optional:
- 1 tablespoon date syrup (hibiscus tea can be tart when unsweetened)
- juice of half a lime or lemon
- a few cloves
- cinnamon stick
- handful fresh mint leaves
- for that extra punch add a little piece of fresh ginger
Instructions
Pour water in a large glass jar and add the other ingredients.
Add additional spices and herbs, as desired.
Cover and let chill in the fridge overnight or at least a few hours. I wouldn’t recommend more than 24 hours because it may get too bitter. When the tea is brewed it will turn a beautiful deep dark ruby red color.
Discard the hibiscus. Stir and enjoy cold (with ice cubes).
Notes
If you don’t want to add any sweetener, then cinnamon and lime are a great way to take away the tartness of hibiscus tea. Hibiscus tea lasts up to a week in the fridge.
