Hibiscus Tea Infusion (Cold Brew):

Hibiscus tea can be brewed in different ways, boiling, sun tea or a cold infusion. This recipe is an herbal tea infusion that I prepare the night before and place it overnight in the refrigerator. This method can also be done by leaving it on the counter for a room temperature tea. Dried hibiscus flowers or jamaica can be found in Mexican markets. I purchase from https://www.starwest-botanicals.com/. I enjoy adding other herbs into this tea like mint, lemon verbena, lemon balm, spearmint, rose petals, or any other favorite herb.
