To make hibiscus tea yourself, you need a good handful of hibiscus flowers for one cup of tea. Pour boiling water over them and let them steep for six to eight minutes - no longer, otherwise the hibiscus tea will be too bitter! The contained citric, malic and tartaric acids give the tea a fruity and sour taste. The healthy and delicious tea tastes both cold and warm.
