Instructions
- Prepare your dried hibiscus flowers with the water you will use. You can prepare the ice cubes at the end when you have already served the iced tea.
- Prepare your clean mason jar and add the dried flowers, crushing them in your hands for easy steeping. After the flowers are in, fill the jar with water and cover it tightly with the lid. Shake to mix and steep the tea overnight.
- After the infusion, once the tea turns red from the petals of the hibiscus, start straining the tea with a fine strainer and transfer it to another jar. Serve it over ice by adding ice cubes to your glass cup and pouring the tea to fill it up. You can optionally add some lavender syrup to taste; just like that, your hibiscus cold tea is ready to serve.

Notes
- Sweeten: If you are wondering why this recipe does not have sweeteners, I prefer not to add one. However, you can sweeten your iced tea using one of the sugar-free sweeteners, stevia powder, simple syrup, or agave if you are not entirely on keto.
- Crush hibiscus petals: As you noticed in the process, I crushed the flowers in my hands before I added them to the jar. It is just a way to release their flavor better and for best results.
- Pitcher: If you don't have a mason jar or any jar with a tight lid, you can use a glass pitcher with a lid. The only difference is that you can't shake it. However, you can mix it with a spoon or stirrer.
- Add flavor: If you want more flavor, add cinnamon sticks or a squeeze of lime juice.
