Hibiscus Lime Tea Recipes

GINGER HIBISCUS TEA

Steps:

• Put the dried hibiscus flowers and ginger, into a measuring cup or pot big enough to hold 8 cups. Cover with the boiling water, and steep for 5 minutes or until you have the desired strength. The longer you leave it to steep, the stronger and more intense the flavor will be.
• Strain the tea into a jug or carafe through a fine sieve. It will be a gorgeous dark red. Stir in the agave or honey to taste. Serve hot or poured over ice.

REFRESHING HIBISCUS TEA AND ITS HEALTH BENEFITS

Steps:

• Make the hibiscus syrup: add 2 cups water, dried hibiscus flowers, orange juice + zest (avoiding the white rind) and sugar to a medium saucepan. Bring it up to a boil and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Let it cool to room temperature.
• Sieve the flowers: Once cooled, pour the hibiscus syrup through a sieve. Add juice of half a lime. Mix with the remaining 4 cups of water.
• Serve it cold: After adding the lime juice and more water, let it cool in the fridge. Or if you're impatient, add a few ice cubes to a glass and pour yourself a glass of delicious hibiscus tea.
• Serve it hot: Run it through a sieve when it's still rather hot. Add lime juice and hot water and serve right away.
