How to Make Jamaican Hibiscus Iced Tea

  1. Combine 1 cup of dried hibiscus flowers and 4 cups of boiling water in a heat-safe pitcher or container.
  2. Steep the hibiscus flowers for 15-20 minutes, allowing the vibrant color and flavor to infuse the water.
  3. Remove the hibiscus flowers using a fine-mesh strainer. Alternatively, you can gently press the flowers to extract maximum flavor before discarding.
  4. Allow the tea to cool completely. You can speed up this process by placing the pitcher in an ice bath.
  5. Once cooled, add 1 cup of sugar (or to taste) and stir until completely dissolved.
  6. Add 4 cups of cold water, ensuring the tea is well-diluted to your desired sweetness and strength.
  7. Add ice and fresh lime wedges or mint leaves (optional) for an extra refreshing touch.
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy this taste of Jamaican sunshine!
