- Consider steeping hibiscus overnight at room temperature for a more robust flavor. You can also do a second steep using the same hibiscus flowers.
- Avoid adding honey to hot hibiscus tea as it will lose all beneficial enzymes in the heat.
- For a refreshing berry hibiscus tea recipe, muddle raspberries in the pitcher or directly in your glass before adding strained hibiscus tea.
- Other sweetener suggestions are maple syrup, coconut sugar, or monk fruit if wanting to keep this drink low-sugar.
