Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 4 cups tangerine juice (freshly squeezed if possible)
- 1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional for sweetness)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh tangerine slices and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the dried hibiscus flowers and remove from heat immediately. Allow the hibiscus flowers to steep for at least 10 minutes, releasing their deep, floral flavor and vibrant red hue.
- While the hibiscus steeps, prepare your tangerine juice. If using fresh tangerines, savor the citrusy aroma as you squeeze the juice from the fruits. Strain the juice into a large pitcher to remove any pulp or seeds.
- Strain the hibiscus tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into the pitcher with the tangerine juice, discarding the hibiscus flowers.
- Add honey or agave syrup to the pitcher if you prefer a sweeter drink. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the tangerine hibiscus juice over the ice. The vivid orange and crimson mixture is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for your taste buds.
- Garnish each glass with fresh tangerine slices and a sprig of mint to enhance the visual appeal and add a hint of freshness.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- If tangerines are out of season, substitute with oranges or mandarins for a similar citrus flavor.
- For a naturally sweetened drink, replace honey with pomegranate juice.
- Serve in a chilled glass for an even more refreshing experience.
- Make a fun party punch version by adding sparkling water or club soda.
Storage and Substitutions
- Store any leftover tangerine hibiscus juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
Pairings and Complements
- This vibrant juice pairs wonderfully with light snacks like cheese and fruit platters.
- Complement it with breakfast delights such as fluffy pancakes or homemade granola bars.
- Enjoy it alongside a delectable dessert like a fresh fruit tart or lemon bars to enhance the citrusy experience.
