Instructions
 

Prepare the Hibiscus Tea Concentrate

  • First, rinse the hibiscus flowers under cold water to remove any debris.
  • Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the hibiscus flowers and remove from heat. Steep for 15 minutes.
  • Strain the hibiscus tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a heat-safe bowl or pitcher, pressing gently on the solids to extract maximum flavor. Allow the tea to cool completely.

Assemble the Iced Tea

  • In a large pitcher, combine the cooled hibiscus tea concentrate, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Add the chilled water, fresh mint leaves, and stir gently to combine.
  • Add ice to glasses, add the Hibiscus tea, and garnish each glass with lemon wedges and fresh mint leaves.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Hibiscus Iced Tea

  • For a stronger hibiscus flavor, increase the steeping time or use more flowers.
  • Experiment with other flavor combinations! Try adding slices of orange, berries, or other herbs.
  • If you prefer a less tart tea, reduce the amount of lemon juice.
  • To make this tea ahead of time, prepare the concentrate and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add the chilled water, mint, and lemon just before serving.
