Tart hibiscus and cool mint are a perfect match. This one is best served chilled in bright, tangy, and super refreshing on a hot day. It also helps with digestion and keeps you hydrated.
How to make Hibiscus mint tea
Ingridients-
- 2 cups water
- 2 tbsp dried hibiscus petals
- A handful of fresh mint (15-20 leaves)
- Honey / jaggery / sugar – to taste
- Juice of half a lemon
Step by step instruction
Take an electric kettle, add water, and bring it to a boil. Once it starts boiling, turn off the heat.
Take another kettle and add your dried hibiscus.
Now pour the hot water into the kettle and let it infuse for 8 to 10 minutes, so that it releases its flavour and colour.
After that, add your fresh mint leaves and let it infuse for two more minutes.
Your Hibiscus tea is ready.

Tips
- For hot tea, serve as it is. For iced tea, let it come to room temperature, then pour over a glass full of ice. Top with 2-3 extra mint leaves and a lemon wheel.
- You keep it less sweet — the tartness of hibiscus is the hero. If you like it fizzy, top it up with soda water instead of plain water while serving.

Instructions
- Brew the base:
Boil the water, then switch off the heat. Add the dried hibiscus petals. Cover and steep for 8-10 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger and more tart it will be. - Add the mint:
In the last 2 minutes of steeping, add the mint leaves. Lightly slap them between your palms before adding — it helps release the oils. Don’t boil the mint or it will turn bitter. Strain & Sweeten: - Strain the deep red tea. While it’s still warm, add honey and mix. Then add the lemon juice.
