Scale

Herbal Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Hibiscus Flower Powder
  • 1/4 cup Rosehips
  • 1/4 cup Dried Ginger Root
  • 2 tablespoons Rosebuds

Liquids and Sweeteners

  • 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 5–6 cups Water (boiling)
  • 2–3 tablespoons Honey or 1/2 teaspoon Stevia

Instructions

  1. Prepare Herbs: In a large mason jar or heatproof container, place the hibiscus flower powder, rosehips, dried ginger root, and rosebuds at the bottom.
  2. Add Boiling Water: Carefully pour 5 to 6 cups of boiling water over the herbs to start the infusion process.
  3. Steep Herbs: Allow the mixture to steep for 10 to 15 minutes, letting the herbs release their flavors and colors into the water.
  4. Add Sweeteners and Vinegar: Stir in your choice of sweetener—either 2 to 3 tablespoons of honey or 1/2 teaspoon of stevia—along with 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar. Adjust quantities to taste.
  5. Serve: Enjoy the cider hot right away or pour over ice for a chilled, refreshing version perfect for warmer days.

Notes

  • Use filtered or spring water for a cleaner taste.
  • Adjust sweetness and vinegar levels based on personal preference.
  • The dried ginger root adds a subtle spicy warmth—feel free to increase or reduce the amount.
  • Store any unused cider in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a stronger infusion, steep herbs a few minutes longer, but avoid overly long steeping to prevent bitterness.
