Rum With Iced Hibiscus Tea Recipes

Steps:

• In a large heatproof pitcher, combine tea bags, honey, and 5 cups boiling water; let steep 10 minutes. Discard tea bags. Add lime juice, rum (if using), and 3 cups cold water. Refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour (and up to 1 week). Serve over ice.

Steps:

• Bring 3 1/2 cups water to a boil with 1/3 cup coarsely grated peeled fresh ginger and 3/4 cup sugar; stir to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat, add 3/4 cup dried hibiscus flowers and steep 6 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, gently pressing on the solids. Stir in 3 cups cold water, 1 cup dark rum and 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice. Chill. Serve over ice.

Steps:

• Boil a kettle of water, then leave for around 1 min to cool to around 90C. Put the flowers in a jug, pour 500ml of the water over the flowers, then leave to steep for 16 mins. This is the optimum time and temperature for extracting the beneficial antioxidants.
• Strain into glasses over ice and sweeten with a litte honey, if you like.

Steps:

• To make the chilled hibiscus tea, put ½ cup dried hibiscus flowers in a large bowl. Add 1 quart cold filtered water. Refrigerate for 8 hours. Strain; discard solids. Keep cold.

Steps:

• Place the hibiscus flowers in a teapot. Bring 1½ cups (360 ml) of the filtered water to a boil, then remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes, until it reaches 180°F (82°C). Pour the water over the hibiscus and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain.
• Fill an ice cube tray with the concentrated hibiscus tea and freeze until set.
• Place the black tea leaves in a large spouted container. Bring the remaining 8 cups (2 L) water to a boil, then remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes, until it reaches 180°F (82°C). Pour the water over the tea and let steep for 5 minutes.
• Fill a pitcher with the plain ice cubes. Strain the black tea through a fine-mesh sieve into the pitcher and discard the tea leaves.
• Pour the tea into glasses filled partway with hibiscus ice cubes. Garnish each glass with a lemon wheel and serve.
