Hibiscus Lemonade

• porties: 8 servings
• actieve tijd: 10 minutes
• totale tijd: 10 minutes

Ingrediënten

½ cup dry hibiscus tea flowers (tightly packed)

1 cup boiling hot water

1 cup sugar (or 1 cup honey or ¾ cup agave nectar)

1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (from about ~6-8 lemons, depending on their size)

3-4 cups cold water (to taste (or ice water, if you want to serve immediately)

Instructies

In a heat-safe bowl, combine the hibiscus, boiling water, and 1 cup sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then allow to steep for 5-10 minutes, while you prepare the rest of the lemonade.

Squeeze the lemons. If you don't have enough fresh lemons, you can top up with bottled lemon juice.

In a large pitcher, combine ¾ cup of the sweetened hibiscus tea (set some aside for now), lemon juice, and 3 cups cold water and stir. Give it a taste and see if it needs more sugar (then add the rest of the sweetened hibiscus), or if it needs more water. Once you're happy with the flavor, enjoy immediately over ice, or chill before serving.
