This Hibiscus Iced Tea or “Agua de Jamaica” recipe has a tart flavor and the warmth of ginger an cinnamon. It is so refreshing! The flavor of the spices are not overpowering but they let their presence be known.

I like making a syrup or a concentrated hibiscus tea, keep it in the fridge and add to my water bottle. Sometimes I add the juice of a lime and sparkling water and sometimes even some vodka.

Ingredients

You will need about 2 cups of dried Hibiscus Flowers, a piece of ginger (sliced), a cinnamon stick, water and a sugar substitute.

For this Hibiscus Iced Tea Recipe, I suggest to use a sweetener with monkfruit like Lakanto Monkfruit Classic. I’ve tried this recipe with allulose and it requires a lot more sweetener.

Hibiscus Iced Tea Recipe Steps

Start by placing all the ingredients in a pot and cover with water.

Then bring to a soft boil. As soon as it is boiling, remove from heat, cover and let it cooldown.

Strain and discard the used hibiscus flowers, ginger and cinnamon.

You can store the concentrate and keep it chilled for when you want to make a drink.

To make the drink add water and ice. I normally use 1/4 cup or less with 8 to 16 ounces of water. You can make your drink as strong as you like.
