Iced Hibiscus Tea with Pomegranate
Hello, fantastic foodies! We all know that a well-crafted culinary creation is the best way to take any occasion from mundane to magical. And today, in the spirit of tantalizing treats, we’re excited to take you on a unique flavor journey. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the sensational, the sublime, the truly delectable: Iced Hibiscus Tea with Pomegranate!
Ingredients
- 3 cups of dried hibiscus flowers
- 2 ripe pomegranates
- 1 cup of sugar or any sweetener of choice
- 6 cups of water
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- A handful of ice cubes
Instructions
- To extract the full-bodied richness of our hero ingredient, the hibiscus, bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot.
- Once it’s boiling, introduce your dried hibiscus flowers to the mix, turn off the heat, and cover the pot, allowing the flowers to steep for about 20 minutes.
- While our hibiscus concoction is infusing with floral goodness, let’s shift focus to our pomegranates. We need to juice them. Remember, pomegranates could be a bit tricky, but it’s the challenge that makes the sweet result even rewarding.
- After 20 minutes of steeping, strain the hibiscus tea into a pitcher and discard the flowers.
- Stir in the sugar until it’s well dissolved, cool the tea to room temperature, and then add the freshly squeezed pomegranate juice.
- Allow this zesty blend to chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.
- Once our beverage is perfectly cool, pour it over ice cubes, garnish with a mint leaf—and voila! Your Iced Hibiscus Tea with Pomegranate is ready to dazzle.
