Notes
- To brew hibiscus tea, bring 2 ¼ cups water to a boil. Place 4 hibiscus tea bags in a glass measuring cup or other container. Pour the hot water over the bags and allow to steep for 8-10 minutes. Gently press the bags to express any extra liquid and discard. Allow tea to cool before using in recipe.
- Loose hibiscus tea or tea bags can be used here. It's preferable to use an herbal blend if you cannot find plain dried hibiscus and need to substitute with a blend.
