The manufacturing process of Hibiscus Tea in Vietnam

There are 2 types of Vietnamese Hibiscus tea, dried and fresh. For users’ convenience, dried Hibiscus tea has been used in many places. Below is the production process of the dried one:

• Material: Fresh Hibiscus plants were harvested at Daklak province in the Central Highland of Vietnam. After being harvested, the edible parts were separated to be used as the material for the drying process.
• Drying: The material was dried at 60, 80, 100, and 120 ◦C using a hot-air drying oven until reaching a moisture content under 8%. During the drying processes, the moisture content of the samples was measured to establish the drying curves at each drying temperature.

How to make Vietnamese Hibiscus Tea from flowers? 

People make Hibiscus tea with dried flower petals bought from stores or stored in containers. But it can be made from flowers also.  All steps below may be helpful for you: Step 1: Harvest flowers – Harvest 5-6 fresh hibiscus flowers from the plant. The matured flowers will show signs of curling at the edges and small changes in color from red to dark. You can make about 2 to 3 cups of tea from these flowers.  Step 2: Clean the flowers – First remove any leaves, stem, and seed pods from the flowers. Separate the petals and keep them aside. Step 3: Add other ingredients – You can add 4 to 5 teaspoons of honey, a small piece of cinnamon stick or small piece of dried ginger. Step 4: Crush ingredients to powder – Take all the ingredients like cinnamon, dried ginger, black peppercorns, and clove in a mortar and lightly crush them.  Step 5: Boil hibiscus petals – Rise the hibiscus petals in clean water and transfer them to a pot for boiling. Add enough water to make 2 to 3 cups of tea. Do not add too much water. Add crushed ingredients to water and start boiling. Step 6: Filter the hibiscus tea – Once the water starts boiling, keep it on the stove for another 5-6 minutes. You need to boil the petals more than that. Within this time, all essence from the flowers will get into the boiling water and the petals will change light in color. Using a tea filter, filter out the tea and discard the remains.
