Iced Hibiscus Tea With Pineapple (Burkina Faso) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 big handful dried hibiscus flowers (or 4 teabags)
6 cups boiling water
4 cups ice
1 pineapple, cubed
pink lemonade (optional)

Preparation

Pour boiling water over hibiscus flowers or teabags.
Let steep about 30 minutes. Hibiscus looks so pretty as the purplish dried leaves turn the water deep red.
Strain into ice to speed up cooling.
Serve chilled with chunks of freshly cut pineapple. You can leave the pineapple out of the drink if you like, but it's so good and cold, don't leave it out!
If you like, mix equal parts lemonade with the tea. Yum.
