Step 1
Cut the strings off the tea bags. (Careful not to cut the hibiscus tea bag because you don’t want dried hibiscus flowers floating around in your tea!)
Step 2
Open the Instant Pot lid and pour the water into the stainless steel inner pot. (Or, if using the stovetop, add all the ingredients to a large pot, steep/soak the tea bags in the boiling water for 30 minutes, and move on to step 8.)
Step 3
Then stir in the sugar and baking soda and add the tea bags.
Step 4
Close the Instant Pot lid (make sure the valve is up – in the position for sealing) and pressure cook on high for 4 minutes.
Step 5
When the cooking time is finished, allow a natural pressure release for 15 minutes.
Step 6
To open the Instant Pot lid, move the valve to ‘venting’ and manually release any remaining pressure, if applicable.
Step 7
Using oven mitts, remove the inner pot from the Instant Pot burner.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the tea bags from the pot.
Step 9
Pour the tea into a pitcher and optionally add a lemon slice or fresh mint.
Step 10
Serve Southern hibiscus sweet tea over ice, and enjoy!
