For best flavor extraction, simmer your spiced hibiscus blend on the stovetop rather than just steeping:
For optimal flavor, this spiced blend should be simmered rather than just steeped. Use 1 tablespoon of the blend per 1 cup of water, scaling up as needed. In a saucepan, combine the water and the spiced hibiscus blend. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it gently simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and strain the liquid to discard the used solids. Sweeten the liquid to taste while warm. The finished tea can be enjoyed immediately while hot, or chilled and served over ice.
Perfect Brewing Instructions: One teaspoon (approx. 3g) for 8oz of water. Steep at 195oF for 5 minutes (adjust based on your taste preference). Just turn your kettle off before boiling if you don't have a temperature controlled kettle.
Caffeine: Contains no caffeine
Food Pairing: Pairs exceptionally well with steak. It also goes with fried and spicy foods, as it cuts nicely through the oil/spices, as well as being great to drink throughout the day on its own.
