Description

A refreshing and vibrant hibiscus tea served chilled with ice, mint, and raspberries.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup dried hibiscus flowers
  • 4 cups cold filtered water
  • Ice (for serving)
  • Sweetener of choice (such as sugar, maple syrup, honey, or agave, optional)
  • 1 small bunch fresh mint (for garnish)
  • ¼ cup raspberries (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Add the dried hibiscus flowers to a 1-quart jar or medium pitcher. Pour in the water, give it a gentle stir, and refrigerate until the liquid turns a vibrant red—about 20 minutes. For richer color and bolder flavor, let it steep overnight.
  2. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pitcher or bowl, discarding the flowers. Serve over ice, adding sweetener if you like.
  3. Finish each glass with fresh mint and a few raspberries for a beautiful garnish.

Notes

For the richest flavor and color, let the hibiscus tea steep in the refrigerator overnight.
