Hibiscus Iced Tea
Ingredients
4 teabags Hibiscus Tea Natural Life**
4 cups of hot water
4 cups of water
2/3 cup of honey *
* Honey is optional if you would like your tea sweet. Honey gives a special flavor and taste.
Preparation
-Make a brew of hibiscus tea using 4 teabags Hibiscus tea Natural Life and 4 cups of hot water (filtered water or mineral water will give a far better taste). Allow the tea to steep for no more than 5 minutes.
-In a large jug place the 4 cups of cold water. Add the honey (optional) to the cold water before you add the hibiscus tea. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved.
A secret here for you. Pour the hot brewed hibiscus tea into the water (honey) mixture and stir. Adding the hot tea to the cold water helps prevent the finished drink from becoming cloudy.
Allow to cool further then serve in glasses over ice. Sprigs of mint make an attractive garnish.
Enjoy Immediately!
Iced tea will keep overnight in the fridge, but tea has a delicate flavor and for the best iced tea experience it should be drunk the same day.
