Make Roselle Tea With Me!
Please don’t mind the kitchen or the old lid I used! 😅 Today felt like such a long day between the farmers market, more farm cleanup, and harvesting. Dad and the boys are also under the weather, so I wanted to make a fresh batch of hibiscus (roselle) tea tonight for us to enjoy tomorrow. And I’m also making fire c***r after going to mass tomorrow.
Here’s my simple recipe for a 32 oz jar:
Ingredients
* 1 pint of fresh roselle (hibiscus) calyces
* 1 quart of hot water (or 1 pint if you prefer a stronger, more concentrated tea)
* 1–2 cinnamon sticks
* 1 small slice of pineapple
* ½ cup fresh ginger (harvested right here on the farm!)
How to make it:
1. Add the roselle, cinnamon sticks, pineapple, and fresh ginger to your jar.
2. Pour the hot water over everything.
3. Let it steep until the flavors come together, then strain.
4. Refrigerate and enjoy chilled!
Tomorrow, I’ll sweeten mine with honey. Brown sugar is also a great option if that’s what you prefer.
There’s something special about making something fresh from the farm, especially on a long day. 🌱
Have you ever tried roselle tea? How do you like yours — sweetened with honey, brown sugar, or not sweetened at all?.
