    2½ cups water, 2 cups orange juice, 2 cups apple cider, 2 cup cherry juice, 8 whole cloves, 4 cinnamon sticks, 2 allspice berries, 2 star anise
  • Remove from heat and add in the tea bags and steep for 10 minutes.
    6 bags berry hibiscus tea

    honey or simple syrup

Notes

  • Any hibiscus tea will work, but the Lipton berry hibiscus is the easiest to find in stores.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and reheat on the stovetop or crockpot.
  • Once prepared, it can be transferred to a crockpot to keep warm for parties.
  • Sweetener is optional, personally, I don't use it because I think it's sweet enough from the fruit juices, but feel free to add either honey or simple syrup if desired.
  • I recommend using 100% cherry juice and not a cocktail juice.
