Hibiscus Iced Tea
Ingredients
1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers
2-3 fresh slices of ginger
1 organic lemon rind
8-9 cups of water
½ cup fresh mint, torn
1 organic orange, sliced
1 cinnamon stick - optional
Putting it All Together
In a pot, add 4 cups of water and lemon rind, ginger, cinnamon stick, and hibiscus flowers. As soon as it boils, remove it from the stove and steep for 15 minutes. Any longer and the tea will be bitter.
Strain the tea and let it cool. Add the remainder of the water and sweeten with the desired sweetener.
Add to a glass jug/pitcher, add orange slices, mint, and ice.
Serve over ice.
Enjoy!
