Instructions
- Brew the hibiscus tea bags in 6 fl oz (180 ml) hot water until strong, about 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags.
- Stir in sweetener or fruit flavoring while the tea is warm, if desired.
- Add 4 fl oz (120 ml) cold filtered water and pour the tea over 1 cup (240 ml) of ice.
Tips
- For a naturally tart flavor, use unsweetened hibiscus tea. Sweeten with honey or simple syrup if preferred. To make ahead, brew tea and chill before adding ice.
