Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients—dried hibiscus flowers, fresh peaches, honey or agave syrup, water, and lemon juice. This will help streamline your process.
Boil the Water: In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. The bubbling water sets the stage for extracting rich flavors from hibiscus.
Add Hibiscus Flowers: Once boiling, add 1 cup of dried hibiscus flowers. Stir gently and watch as the water transforms into a stunning ruby red. Let it steep for about 10 minutes; the aroma will be intoxicating.
Incorporate Sweetness: After steeping, strain the mixture into a pitcher using a fine mesh sieve. Stir in honey or agave syrup while still warm to achieve better dissolution.
Add Peaches and Lemon Juice: Dice one ripe peach and add it along with 1-2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice to your pitcher. Mix well until everything is combined.
Chill or Serve Hot: If you prefer iced tea, refrigerate until chilled—about an hour should do—or serve immediately for a warm treat on cooler evenings.
Now you’re ready to enjoy your delightful Peach Hibiscus Sunset Tea!
