Hibiscus Tea

Store dried hibiscus flowers in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Prepared hibiscus tea should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 2-3 days.

Steep dried hibiscus flowers in hot water for 5-10 minutes for a strong brew. Adjust steeping time to your preference.

For iced hibiscus tea, brew a concentrate and then dilute it with cold water or ice.

Sweeten hibiscus tea with honey, agave, or simple syrup to balance its tartness. A squeeze of lime or lemon can also enhance the flavor.

Hibiscus flowers can be steeped multiple times; the flavor will become milder with each infusion.

Over-steeping, which can make the tea excessively tart or bitter.

Using too much dried hibiscus, especially when brewing a concentrate, as it can become overwhelmingly sour.
