How To Make Hibiscus Tea

Step 1

Prepare the dried hibiscus and boil enough water to infuse the tea later.

Step 2

Using a mortar and pestle, gently crush the dried hibiscus to release its flavor even better. Do not crush too much. Gently squeeze their flavor.

Step 3

Place the hibiscus onto the infuser or middle of the glass pitcher and add the boiling water. Pour the water a little bit higher so that the pressure of the water will break the dried flowers and extract more juice from them. Let it steep for 10 minutes and wait for the color and flavor to mix the hibiscus flower and water through the tea infuser. If you don't have infusing equipment, you can also use a fine mesh strainer to extract the hibiscus juice.

Step 4

After the infusion, remove the hibiscus and enjoy the tea with a squeeze of lime juice or lemon juice, depending on your taste preference.
