Servings: 32 cups | Serving Size: 1 cup | Recipe Size: 2 gallons
Ingredients:
1 cup of hibiscus
¼ cup of powdered reishi (Use twice as much if reishi is in chunks or fluffy.)
¼ cup of ginger root
⅛ cup of sugar or honey (add it to taste)
Instructions:
The instructions below will show you how to make a concentrated tea. I like to make the concentrate and then add it to the larger container or add it to single 1 cup servings mixed with sparkling water. Like a shrub.
Bring water to a boil in kettle or in large pot
While water is coming to boil, peel ginger with spoon and grind up in blender
Pour hot water over reishi, ginger, and hibiscus in a large french press to steep for 10 minutes. If you don’t have french press, put ingredients in a medium sized pot. After 10 minutes, use a sieve to strain out matter into another bowl or pot.
Repeat steps 2 more times with more water. You can do 2-3 extractions to get flavors out of the ingredients.
Add concentrated tea into a two gallon serving container. Fill with water and add more sugar to taste while warm. Add hot water if you want tea to be warm. Add ice if you want it to be cold.
