Ingredients
- 48 ounces water
- 3 tablespoons hibiscus flowers (organically grown)
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1/8 cup sugar
- 1 small orange, sliced
- Ice
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Directions
Bring water to light boil, turn off heat add the hibiscus flowers and cinnamon sticks. Cover and steep for 20 minutes.
Strain tea into desired container, add sugar and orange slices and serve over ice. Garnish each glass with a lemon slice.
Chef Notes: This tea recipe can easily be doubled for a larger serving. When using herbs in tea making, longer is not better. Heating the herbs for extended time can release unfavorable qualities and bitterness found in herbs. The key is to add MORE herbs to strengthen flavor.

I made this just as the recipe stated. Flavor wasn't so good the first day so I let it sit overnight. The next day all flavors were full and perfectly blended. Highly recomend this recipe especially with Valentine Day approaching! Definiltey a keeper, thanks Michael!

The tea looked good on television. I just had the hibiscus, cinamon and stevia. The tea was fabulous. Ill make it for my next outing.

My husband is one of the pickiest eaters alive. He really turned his nose up at the thought of tea, let alone tea with "flowers" in it. But he was tricked into trying it and drank my whole glass. It's a wonderfully refreshing twist on a old favorite.
