About this recipe
Iced hibiscus tea is an intensely tart drink made with hibiscus infusion, lemon, honey, and ice. Hibiscus gives it a deep color and a fruity-floral flavor, while lemon enhances its fresh, sour character. Add the honey after the tea has cooled slightly so it blends easily into the infusion without turning it into syrup. This iced tea is well suited to serving very cold, especially when you want a vivid color and a stronger flavor.
Ingredients
2 hibiscus tea bags
800 ml water
1 lemon
1 tablespoon honey
ice cubes
Steps
Pour the measured water, prepared according to the package instructions, over the hibiscus tea bags. Steep for 5–7 minutes unless the manufacturer specifies otherwise, then remove the bags and set the infusion aside.
Wash the lemon. If you want to serve the drink with lemon slices, cut them off before juicing. Squeeze the remaining lemon and remove the seeds.
Dissolve the honey in the slightly cooled infusion, then stir in the lemon juice. Once cooled, refrigerate until thoroughly cold. Preparing the infusion ahead allows you to serve it over ice without rapidly diluting it. Allow approximately 60–90 minutes for the whole batch to cool and chill. To speed up cooling, place the container in a cold-water bath and stir the infusion before refrigerating. Serve only once the base is cold.
Serve with ice cubes. Stir before pouring, as the tart lemon juice and honey should be evenly distributed.
