Hibiscus Tea
A quick tip from a recovering sugar addict (turned health nut). This quick and easy herbal infusion is a quick fix for sugar cravings.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 6 cups filtered water
- 4 TBS dried hibiscus
- 2 optional organic cinnamon sticks optional
- ¼ cup optional organic sugar (or simple syrup) sugar if you hot brew, simple syrup if you cold brew
Instructions
For regular hot brewing
- Bring water to a boil. Add hibiscus and optional cinnamon and steep for 10-20 minutes (depending on how strong you want the hibiscus flavor; I do 20 minutes). Strain. Mix in sugar if desired. Allow to cool. Serve over ice.
For cold brewing (in fridge overnight)
- Add water, hibiscus, and cinnamon sticks (optional) into a pitcher and refrigerate overnight. Strain. Mix in simple syrup if desired before serving.
