Origin: Egypt
Hibiscus flower tea is a traditional iced drink in south american outdoor restaurants. The crisp tart flavor and vibrant color of this drink are refreshing in the heat of summer. Enjoy cold brewed or hot brew and chill over ice. 1 ounce is enough for 1 gallon of cold brew.
The genus Hibiscus contains several hundreds of species, each unique and having different uses throughout history. Here at Little Woods we use the flower petals in both whole and cut form as an herbal tea, but you can also use it as a natural dye. The liquid is deep magenta when steeped and the flavor is tart and juicy.
For Sun Tea: Place 1oz flowers 1 gallon tea pitcher and fill with cold water. Cover opening with muslin or plastic wrap and place in the sun for an afternoon. Remove sachet and place in fridge, or cool down and enjoy immediately over ice.
For Cold Brewed Tea: Place 1oz flowers in 1 gallon tea pitcher and fill with cold water. Cover opening with muslin or plastic wrap and place in an out of the way spot in overnight (or about 8 hours). Remove sachet and place in fridge to chill, or cool down and enjoy immediately over ice.
