Prep Time 25 minutes mins
Total Time 25 minutes mins
- ¼ cup dried hibiscus flowers
- 4 cups cold filtered water
- Ice, for serving
- Sweetener of choice, such as sugar, maple syrup, honey, or agave, optional
- 1 small bunch fresh mint, for garnish
- ¼ cup raspberries, for garnish
Place the hibiscus flowers in a (1-quart) jar or medium pitcher. Add the water, stir to combine, and chill until bright red, at least 20 minutes. For a deeper color and flavor, chill overnight.
Pour the tea through a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl or pitcher to remove the hibiscus flowers. Pour into glasses filled with ice and sweeten to taste, if desired.
Garnish with fresh mint and raspberries.
