Ramadan Recipes: Egyptian Karkade - Hibiscus Tea

This traditional Egyptian hibiscus tea is made using loose dried hibiscus flowers. The tea is left to steep in the hot water as it cools, creating a strong flavor. Egyptians typically enjoy this tea sweetened, particularly during Ramadan when it is used to break the fast. It is important to add the sugar while the tea is still warm to ensure it dissolves properly. Once sweetened, the tea should be chilled before serving.
