Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

  3. Allow the hibiscus flowers to steep for about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer the flavor.
  4. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the liquid to remove the hibiscus flowers, leaving you with a beautiful deep red tea.
  5. In a blender, combine the diced mango with the strained hibiscus tea. If you prefer a sweetened tea, add in the 1/4 cup of sugar at this stage.
  6. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
  7. Pour the tea into glasses filled with ice cubes and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftover tea in a tightly sealed container for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze it in ice cube trays. Reheat by gently warming in a saucepan over low heat.
