How to Make Omani Hibiscus Tea

  1. Combine 1 cup dried hibiscus flowers, 1/2 cup sugar (or to taste), 1 cinnamon stick, and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom pods (lightly crushed) in a large teapot or saucepan.
  2. Add 7 cups of water to the pot. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 15 minutes to allow the hibiscus and spices to infuse, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and let steep for another 5 minutes.
  5. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher. Discard solids.
  6. Add 4 cups of cold water to the pitcher to dilute the tea to your desired strength. Stir well.
  7. For a chilled tea, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving over ice. Garnish with a hibiscus flower or a cinnamon stick, if desired.
  8. For a warm tea, serve immediately. Garnish with a hibiscus flower or a cinnamon stick, if desired.
