Karkade (Hibiscus Tea)
Report
Tart meets sweet, super refreshing, and oh-so-pretty, iced hibiscus tea is the alcohol-free, caffeine-free, and fuss-free elixir we’ll be cooling off with all summer long. Budget 2 hours of chilling time.

Instructions
- Steep the tea and sweetener. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the hibiscus and sweetener (I usually add ¼ to ½ cup of sugar). Boil for 3 minutes over high heat, then turn the heat off, cover the pan, and let the hibiscus steep for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Strain. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a heat-safe glass pitcher or bowl. Pour the tea through the strainer. Discard the hibiscus flowers and stir in the lime juice.
- Adjust to taste. Set aside to cool completely, then taste. If the is too concentrated or bitter, dilute it with a little more filtered water and sweetener. Remember not to dilute it too much, especially if you plan to serve it over ice.
- Chill and serve. Transfer to the fridge and chill for a few hours. Serve over ice, with a lime wheel and a sprig of fresh mint in each glass. Cheers!
Notes
- Be very careful when you’re straining or pouring the tea! Take special care with your clothes, countertops, or any porous surface because it stains easily.
- You can store this iced tea covered in your refrigerator for up to one week.
