Home-Brewed Iced Passion Tea
This refreshing iced tea is perfect for a warm Texas autumn day or can be served warm as a hot tea when the temperatures dip.
Roselle is a species of hibiscus plant, and its buds are harvested for infusing tea, syrups and other treats with its tangy floral flavor. Try this brew, reminiscent of Starbucks Iced Passon Tea, at home.
Ingredients
2 cups roselle pods
1 orange or tangerine
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp cloves
1/4 cup sugar
