How to Make Hibiscus Iced Tea

  1. Boil 4 cups of water in a saucepan.
  2. Place 4 hibiscus tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose leaf hibiscus) in a heat-safe pitcher.
  3. Pour the boiling water over the tea bags (or loose leaf).
  4. Cover the pitcher and let it steep for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the tea bags (or strain the loose leaf tea).
  6. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or to taste) and stir until completely dissolved.
  7. Let the tea cool completely to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
  8. Stir in 1 cup of sparkling cider or club soda just before serving.
  9. Serve over ice in glasses. Garnish with fresh hibiscus flowers, lemon wedges, or a sprig of mint, if desired.
