Homemade red iced tea with xylitol

This homemade ruby-red hibiscus iced tea offers a full flavour with minimal calories. Instead of sugar, we recommend xylitol – a natural, tooth-friendly alternative to sugar.

Preparation

Weigh all the ingredients and bring them to a boil.

Using a funnel, pour the boiling tea through a strainer directly into a sterilized 1-liter bottle.

Let the homemade hibiscus iced tea cool in the bottle for a few hours.

Instead of xylitol, you can also use sugar, agave syrup or stevia leaves. The apple juice concentrate can also be replaced with 1 apple, cut into small pieces. Hibiscus flowers can be replaced with rooibos tea.

To make a hibiscus cold brew, simply let all the ingredients steep overnight in the fridge. In the morning, strain out the hibiscus flowers. Your refreshing cold brew is ready to enjoy!
