Hibiscus Iced Tea — the jug you keep going
Serving photograph

Why it worksIced tea goes thin as the ice melts. Pearls keep the last mouthful as tart as the opening one.

What you need

  • Hibiscus pearls2 vials
  • Black tea, brewed strong and chilled300 ml
  • Honeyto taste
  • Orange2 thin slices
  • Iceto the top

Method

pearls last, always
  1. Brew the tea strong, sweeten it while it is warm, then chill it properly.
  2. Ice and an orange slice in each glass, tea over.
  3. Pearls in last, and don't stir hard.

The tea must be fridge-cold before the pearls go in. Lukewarm tea softens them.

One vial is one serving, so this recipe counts pearls by the vial rather than in grams — the fill is still being set with our manufacturer. Nothing on this page is a claim about what the pearls do.
