Iced tea or refreshing agua fresca made with hibiscus flowers, also called roselle calyces sweetened with sugar and ice. Alternatively, this roselle water can become an iced hibiscus latte by adding creamer.
1/2 cupAgave nectar could be replaced with sugar on the raw, sugar or Splenda
1/2cupcoconut creameroptional
Instructions
Steep the hibiscus flowers with the boiling water. We recommend using a mason jar. Allow the roselle flowers to steep long enough for a strong tea. It can be left covered inside the fridge overnight.
When ready to serve, add iced water, ice cubes to a pitcher. Mix with the hibiscus tea, and sweeten with agave nectar of the sweetener of your choice.
Serve cold and top with your favorite creamer to make an iced latte. We used coconut milk creamer.
Notes
After steeping, the flowers do not discard. The flowers are edible and can transform into vegan shredded meat for tacos and even vegan birria.
