KARKADEH (EGYPTIAN HIBISCUS ICED TEA)



Karkadeh (Egyptian Hibiscus Iced Tea) image

This traditional Egyptian hibiscus tea is made with loose dried hibiscus flowers, which are left to steep in the tea as it cools so the tea is quite strong. Tea bags are not suitable. We drink this tea rather sweet to break fast during the month of Ramadan. Make sure to sweeten the tea while still warm so that the sugar dissolves easily and then serve chilled.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh hibiscus flowers. If you can't find fresh hibiscus flowers, you can also use dried hibiscus flowers, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Be sure to steep the hibiscus flowers in hot water for at least 15 minutes to extract the maximum flavor and color.
  • You can adjust the amount of sugar in the hibiscus syrup to taste. If you like your drinks on the tart side, you can use less sugar. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can use more sugar.
  • You can make hibiscus ice cubes ahead of time and store them in the freezer. This will make it easy to make a hibiscus fizz whenever you want one.
  • Garnish your hibiscus fizz with a lime wedge or a hibiscus flower for a touch of elegance.
