Teavana makes the perfect brewing pot for this hibiscus tea recipe. You can find the 16 oz Teavana Perfectea Maker on Amazon, or purchase directly from the company. What a sweet little joy maker!


Ingredients

  • 1 cup organic cut & sifted hibiscus flowers (Frontier brand. Ordered from Amazon)
  • 4 cups filtered water, heated
  • 2 mason jars, 32-ounce each
  • enough ice to fill each jar completely
  • 1 1/2 dropper full liquid stevia, per glass
  • 4 drops Lime Therapeutic Grade Oils (I recommend Young Living Lime Oil)
  • 1 sprig of mint, per glass
  • 1/2 lemon and/or lime slices, if desired, per glass
  • 2 glass straws (purchased from Amazon)

Directions

  1. Fill a medium pot with 4 cups filtered water and heat over high heat just until water is hot then turn burner off.
  2. Add the hibiscus tea leaves and let sit until cool (or use as soon as tea has brewed to a strength of your liking).
  3. Fill jars with ice and use caution when straining tea into the glass because it will stain your clothing, dish towels or anything else that gets in the way.
  4. Drop stevia and lime drops over ice and pour tea over a strainer into the glass, or use the teavana tea maker and fit it directly over the glass. It will automatically dispense the liquid when you press it down. Use half the brewed tea in each glass. You can use less if you find that strength more to your liking.
  5. Add hot filtered water to rim of jar and stir to blend flavors.
  6. Top it off with a sprig of mint, a lemon or lime slice and a cute little glass straw and enjoy this refreshing beverage.

  1. Plan to use a ton of it because this is a favorite for everyone. Even the guys that swear they are not interested in pink tea gulp it down. lol

    Thanks so much for stopping by. I truly hope you enjoy the tea. 🙂
