Hibiscus Punch

Katiek sent this to me over the summer in her incredibly generous mystery tea box and I’ll admit, I left this one to sit for awhile. I’m just not a huge fan of hibiscus, but it does have its uses, it is great for clearing all the mucus that builds up when your sick (sorry, kinda gross, I know.)

I pulled this out today because between the Vitamin C from the fruit and the hibiscus I thought it would be a great tea for when I’m sick. I’m not sure how much Vitamin C I’m really getting with my cup of tea since the heat process used in drying fruit decreases the amount present in the fruit (Vitamin C is heat sensitive.) I just figure some is better than none and nothing else is doing me any good.

On the plus side, since I can’t taste anything right now, I don’t even notice the hibiscus #winnerwinnerchickendinner… sorry, that’s the cold medicine talking… I should probably go back to bed.

No rating for now, I’ll rate this when I can actually taste again.

Received this from a TTB. I’m liking it quite a bit more then I thought I would. In fact, the longer I let it steep the better it is. Maybe it’s just because all the other flavors come out more to settle the hibiscus. Speaking of hibiscus, when I first steeped the tea it was super strong _. But the flavors have now melded into a wild and sour mix. I like! It could also be that I kinda accidentally dumped a table spoon full into the brewer that is bringing out such an intense flavor…
