Hibiscus Iced Tea Recipe

Ingredients:

• 7 cups of hot water

• 1 ¾ cups dried hibiscus flowers

• ¾ cup sugar (preferably organic cane sugar)

Instructions:

1. Boil the water: Bring 7 cups of water to a boil in a pot or kettle.

2. Prepare the pitcher: While the water is boiling, pour ¾ cup of sugar into your pitcher. Set aside.

3. Measure the hibiscus: Pour 1 ¾ cups of dried hibiscus flowers into your infuser or tea filter. Tip: Do this over the sink or trash can, as some petals might spill.

4. Dissolve the sugar: Once the water is boiling, pour about 1 cup of the hot water into the pitcher to dissolve the sugar. Stir until fully dissolved.

5. Brew the tea: Place the hibiscus-filled infuser back in the pitcher and pour the remaining hot water over it.

6. Let it steep: Allow the tea to steep. For best flavor, I recommend letting it sit overnight at room temperature.

7. Chill and serve: After steeping, remove the infuser and discard the used flowers. Place the tea in the refrigerator until completely cold. Serve over ice and enjoy!

Note: This process can get a little messy, so take your time and be careful when handling the hot water and loose flowers.
