How to Make Jus De Bissap Hibiscus Tea

  1. Rinse 1 cup of dried hibiscus flowers under cool water to remove any debris.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 quarts of cold water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Once boiling, add the rinsed hibiscus flowers.
  4. Immediately remove from heat and cover the saucepan.
  5. Let the hibiscus steep for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to fully infuse.
  6. Strain the hibiscus tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher, discarding the flowers.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup of sugar (or to taste). Adjust sweetness according to your preference.
  8. Add 1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves and 2 tablespoons of orange blossom water (if using).
  9. Add ice cubes to the pitcher.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the tea to chill completely before serving. Serve over ice and enjoy!
