Cranberry Hibiscus Herbal Tea
Embrace the vibrant flavors of fall with this delightful Cranberry Hibiscus Herbal Tea
Equipment
- 1 Saucepan or pot
- 1 fine mesh strainer
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups water
- 2 tbsp dried hibiscus flowers or 1 hibiscus tea bag
- ¼ cup fresh cranberries you can also use dried or frozen
- 1 tbsp honey or agave nectar (adjust to taste)
- 2 slices of lemon optional
- A pinch of cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick optional
Instructions
- If you're using fresh cranberries, wash them thoroughly.
- If you opt for dried or frozen cranberries, have them ready to go.
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil.
- If you're using cinnamon for added spice, add it to the water as it heats.
- Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the hibiscus flowers or tea bag and cranberries to the saucepan.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the mixture steep for about 5-7 minutes. The tea should start to take on a vivid red hue.
- Taste a small spoonful to gauge the tartness. If it's too strong, you can add more water; if it's too light, allow it to simmer for another minute or two.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the honey or agave nectar. If you're using lemon slices for added tartness, add them now.
- Use a fine-mesh strainer to pour the tea into your favorite cups, discarding the hibiscus and cranberries. If you used a cinnamon stick, you can leave it in the cup for garnish or additional flavor.
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick to each cup before serving.
