What a great recipe FireChef, I really enjoyed this delicious tea. It was so quick and easy to prepare with wonderful results. You could taste both the mint and the hibiscus in the tea. I used dried hibiscus flowers with rosehip and fresh mint and let it steep in the refrigerator over night. What a beautiful color and flavor the tea had, I adored it, it was wonderful served over ice, with a slice of lime. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe which I will enjoy again.

This is lovely. I have only tried hibiscus tea once hot and didn't like it. I used the refrigerator method and fresh mint leaves. I tried it with and without lemon and prefer the lemon to cut the fruity taste a bit. I did not add sugar. I would like to make this again during the summer using the sun method.
