Hibiscus Tea / Infused Tea/ Homemade Tea

Hibiscus Tea is one of the prettiest and easiest to make at home. Here is a super easy recipe for you to follow and make this homemade, infused tea.

To be honest the hibiscus has a very mild flavour to it and hence the flavouring we use in it overpowers it. But I always make it just for the colour. I also make Hibiscus Syrup using this Hibiscus Tea, which can be refrigerated for long and used to make instant juice.

You may also want to try Rose Water & Syrup. Will be soon making Mogre ka Sharbat ( Jasmine Cooler) and share it with you guys.

Hibiscus Tea is one of the prettiest and easiest to make at home. Here is a super easy recipe for you to follow and make this homemade, infused tea.

Method

Choose only the good flowers. Separate the petals from the stem and keep them aside.

Discard the stem, pistils and stamen.

Wash the petals in a huge bowl of water to remove any dust and insects in them.

Place the petals in a glass bowl.

Boil the 1ltr water. Pour this boiling water over the petals and cover the bowl with a lid or clingfilm.

Let it sit overnight.

Next morning, strain the liquid using a sieve.

Press the petals to takeout as much liquid as possible.

Store it in a bottle and refrigerate.

Serve this cold tea with a generous squeeze of lemon juice and honey.

 

Making Hibiscus Syrup

Once the tea is strained in the morning, add a 1.5 cups of sugar to it and boil till it reaches syrup consistency.

To serve, add hibiscus syrup to water, with juice of half lemon and a pinch of roasted cumin powder and serve it chilled.
