- Use loose tea instead of tea bags for a better quality cup of tea.
- For a stronger cup of hibiscus tea, add a couple of more minutes to your steep time or add 1/2 teaspoon more of hibiscus.
- Use a glass teapot to make herbal tea so you can see the pretty herbals in water.
- Hibiscus tea can be served with or without sugar. If you want to sweeten hot tea, you can use any kind of sweetener from sugar to date syrup, but for sweetening iced tea, always use simple syrup since it'll be the easiest to mix into a cold drink.
- Herbal teas like hibiscus are a lot easier to brew than other types of teas since it doesn't get overly bitter if brewed for more than 5 minutes so don't worry if it steeps for longer.
- Hibiscus is often used in drinks to naturally color it pink.
- Hibiscus tea can be brewed and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Keep it covered or airtight glass container or pitcher.
