If any drink was made for leisurely back-porch sipping, it’s iced tea. Our version is brewed from zesty hibiscus tea, which is made from coppery-red hibiscus leaves and is naturally caffeine free. Ginger syrup and fresh lemon juice add layers of flavor.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon thinly sliced peeled fresh ginger
3/4 cup sugar
4 hibiscus tea bags
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Lemon wedges, for garnishing
Directions
1. Put 4 cups water, ginger, and sugar into a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has
dissolved. Remove from heat; add 4 hibiscus tea bags. Cover,
and let steep 15 minutes.
2. Pour through a fine sieve into a bowl set in an ice-water bath. Let cool. Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. Serve over crushed ice, and garnish with lemon wedges. Serves 8
