tonic drink Karkade

A wonderful tonic drink is sure to cheer you up! When I was in Egypt, the locals introduced me to such a type of tea as karkade. In another way, it is called the "drink of the pharaohs", and it is the national Egyptian drink. Any food goes well with it, and its therapeutic effects are amazing. The "Sudanese rose" contains a large amount of vitamins. Perfectly quenches thirst in the sultry summer, and in winter, on the contrary, it will warm you with its warmth. The culinary recipe for brewing karkade, which I was told in Egypt, is very simple. After enjoying red tea, you can eat hibiscus petals containing vitamin C. The second way is hot. We take a glass, pour 2 teaspoons of tea into it, pour boiling water. If necessary, add sugar. But it should be remembered, with a long boiling, the carcade loses its properties and the tea becomes dirty gray. The cold way. We do the same as with the hot method. Just add ice cubes to the finished drink. Another cold way. We insist the petals of the carcade for 8 hours in cold water.
