Hibiscus can be both cold and hot, depending on how it's prepared and served.
Hibiscus is commonly used to make a tea or beverage that can be enjoyed either hot or cold. The tart, cranberry-like flavor lends itself well to both preparations.
-
Hot Hibiscus Tea: This is a comforting and warming drink, often enjoyed in the cooler months.
-
Cold Hibiscus Tea or Beverage: This is a refreshing drink, perfect for hot weather.
Because of its tartness, hibiscus tea is often sweetened, regardless of whether it's served hot or cold. Common additions include:
- Honey
- Lime juice
- Sugar
- Other fruits or flavorings
