Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried hibiscus flowers
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 3 limes)
  • 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup, to taste
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Hibiscus Tea: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the dried hibiscus flowers with water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and let it steep for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid turns deep red.

  2. Strain and Cool: Remove from heat and strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher or bowl. Discard the hibiscus flowers. Allow the tea to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.

  4. Add Ginger and Mint: Add sliced ginger and a handful of fresh mint leaves. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.

  5. Serve Iced: Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour in the hibiscus iced tea mixture, and garnish each glass with extra lime slices and mint leaves for an added touch of freshness.
