Homemade iced tea

Today we will prepare a iced tea (karkade) with citrus fruits and strawberries. Karkade in the countries of the East is called "red tea", "Sudanese rose" and "drink of the Pharaohs". It represents dried flowers of roses, namely hibiscus. Sourness will cheer up on a hot day, and the berry will create a summer mood. In the recipe, we suggest drinking it cold, but also hot in the heat, it refreshes perfectly. This drink is successfully combined with other types of tea in a ratio of 1:1. Be sure to try it!

Equipment

1 jar heat-resistant glass container
1 tablespoon
1 teaspoon
1 knife
1 chopping board
1 grater optional

Ingredients

4 tbsp karkade
3 circle lemon
3 tbsp sugar
½ tsp orange peel
4 pc strawberry fresh or frozen

Instructions

Prepare the ingredients. In the absence of orange peel, take 1 orange and remove the orange layer from it. If the white part of the fruit gets there, then the drink will be bitter.
½ tsp orange
Take a clean, dry container that can be tightly closed, preferably hermetically. We took the carcade at the rate of 1 tablespoon per 1 mug, so we need a jar with a capacity of 1 liter, 4 mugs will be included there. Add sugar.
4 tbsp karkade, 3 tbsp sugar
Boil the kettle, pour in water and close for an hour. The drink is infused.
Wash lemon, cut 4 thin circles. You can divide it into smaller slices. Thickness does not matter.
3 circle lemon
The karkade is infused and brewed, but still hot. Add lemon and orange zest and carefully close the jar again for another hour. Next, we send the container to the fridge to cool the contents.
½ tsp orange, 3 circle lemon
Done. We pour into cups together with strawberries and enjoy a rich, fresh, invigorating taste.
4 pc strawberry
It turned out to be an amazing floral-fruit tea that will decorate the everyday menu or pleasantly surprise guests at a party. If the drink is too concentrated, you can dilute it with water. Bon appetit!
