Hibiscus Tea w/ Pink Grapefruit Infusion

(Makes a 64 oz. Pitcher)

Tea:

2 Cups Dried Organic Hibiscus Flowers

64 oz. Filtered Water

1/2 Organic Pink Grapefruit (cut in thin wedges)

Simple Syrup:

1/2 Cup Organic Coconut Sugar

1/2 Cup Filtered Water

1/2 Organic Pink Grapefruit

1 Teaspoon Organic Pink Grapefruit Zest (cut very fine)

Instructions:

Heat 64 oz. of filtered water in a large pot until boiling. When water begins to boil, cut the fire off and add the dried organic hibiscus flowers. Stir with a wooden spoon and cover. Let the flowers steep until the mixture is completely cooled.

In another small sauce pan; add 1/2 cup organic coconut sugar and 1/2 cup filtered water along with the juice of 1/2 organic pink grapefruit and a teaspoon of its zest. Heat on medium until the sugar is completely dissolved stirring occasionally to make sure the zest and juice are fully incorporated. When sugar has dissolved (about 3-5 minutes), cut the fire off and let stand for 20 minutes or until cooled.

In a 64 oz. pitcher combine the strained tea mixture (making sure all of the flowers are removed) and the pink grapefruit simple syrup. Stir well and chill in the fridge for 3 hours. Flavors will become more intense after this step.

Serve over ice cubes in tall glasses with a thin wedge of pink grapefruit. Refreshing! ♥
