How to Make Hibiscus Tea
- Combine 1 cup of dried hibiscus flowers (flor de jamaica) with 8 cups of water in a large saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the desired color and flavor intensity is achieved.
- Remove from heat and let the tea steep for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop.
- Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, leaving behind any sediment at the bottom of the pot.
- Sweeten to taste with 1/2 cup to 1 cup of sugar or agave nectar. Adjust sweetness according to your preference.
- Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator before serving.
- Garnish with fresh fruit slices (lime or orange) or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of elegance.
- Serve chilled. For an adult version add 2-4 oz of high quality vodka per serving.
