How to Make Spicy Friendship Tea Mix

  1. In a food processor, combine 1 cup hibiscus flowers, 1/2 cup orange peel, 1/4 cup cinnamon sticks (broken into smaller pieces), 2 tablespoons ginger (finely chopped or ground), 1 tablespoon cloves, 1 tablespoon cardamom pods (lightly crushed), and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste).
  2. Process until the mixture is finely ground and evenly combined. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Transfer the tea mix to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place.
  4. To serve: Add 4 1/2 teaspoons of the tea mix to 1 cup of freshly boiled water. Steep for 5-7 minutes. Adjust steep time to your preference. Add more water if desired for a less strong brew. Enjoy!
