Since a long this recipe was in my mind ...but i did not have the required red hibiscus in my garden. One day my daughter brought Hibiscus tea from a local restaurant for me to taste. I liked it very much, since then i was restlessly waiting and watching the flowers to bloom. Today, at last i saw a red hibiscus. And here is the outcome of hibiscus. I heard it has a lot of medicinal values and it is good for high cholesterol and high blood pressure patients.
WHAT YOU NEED:
red hibiscus flower - 1-2
Tea leaves - 1/2 tsp
Cinnamon stick - a small piece
Cardamom - 1 (optional)
Sugar - 4-5 tsp or to taste
HOW TO MAKE:
Wash hibiscus flower and separate the petals.
Boil one cup of water along with tea leaves, cinnamon stick and cardamom. Boil for few minutes. Switch off the gas.
Then put the hibiscus petals in the boiled tea water. Keep covered for an hour.
After an hour strain the tea through a strainer.
Mix sugar. Add one more cup of water.
Refrigerate hibiscus tea till it is chilled.
Steve chilled Hibiscus Tea along with few ice cubes in glasses.
