Hibiscus Fruit Tea
Materials
Kumquat | 2 pieces |
Rock sugar | 5 pieces |
How To Make
-
Dice the pear into small cubes and cut the kumquat in half, setting aside.
-
Pour in a little hot water and swirl it around to warm the pot. After discarding the water, add dried hibiscus flowers and rock sugar, followed by the diced pear (Image 1).
-
Next, add red dates. I used small dates since the pot isn’t large; they enhance sweetness and help with blood nourishment (Image 2).
-
Add kumquat to increase sweetness, as hibiscus tea can be a bit tart on its own. Using more ingredients to balance the sweetness rather than adding too much sugar is a better strategy (Image 3).
-
Pour in 90-degree Celsius hot water to brew. This image shows the tea right after adding hot water. Let it steep for 5 minutes to allow the color to develop, and it's ready to drink (Image 4).
