Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For a floral twist and heightened aroma, add a few crushed cardamom pods or a small stick of cinnamon while steeping the hibiscus petals, then strain before serving.
- If you prefer a chilled version, brew the tea stronger and pour it over ice cubes made from pre-frozen hibiscus tea to avoid dilution and intensify the flavor.
- To create a natural sweetener with a tangy hint, stir in a spoonful of honey or jaggery while the tea is still warm; for a tart, cooling effect, add a few drops of fresh lime juice just before serving.
- Dried hibiscus petals store well in an airtight container in a cool, dark place—allowing you to prepare this beverage year-round and even blend them into other herbal teas for a custom infusion.
