Hibiscus Tea ( Cha Ka Jeape )

hibiscus-tea.jpg

Thai recipe name pronunciationHibiscus tea, a cold infusion served over lots of ice, but for this photograph, I've piled the dried flowers into the tea. It looked better that way. Below I've photographed fresh hibiscus, they are quite nice as candied edible flowers.

Nabih:

Yes, indeed, we drink this usualy in Egypt. Localy, this plant (and the drink) are called Karkade.

The only difference with the recipe is that we keep the boiled flowers for a short time to seep, then we filter, and cool them.

Thank you.

Hibiscus tea is also common in Mexico where they call it jamaica. It is made the same way. Where I live it is available in the Mexican food section of the local supermarket.
