Can you see that gorgeous deep red hue?? This tea is brewed from dried hibiscus flowers (shown below), sweetened with a little sugar, and then iced and the result is a sweet/tart combo akin to cranberry or pomegranate juice. Egyptians call it karkady and I just made my first of many batches. Love it!!

Unfortunately, the air quality is really bad here in Cairo. I've read that they equate just breathing the Cairo air to smoking 20 cigarettes a day!
this looks VERY much like shrub..this karkady....I am looking forward to karkady. Happy yo see your cooking instincts are intact (:
That looks wonderful! Can you email me ideas to potentially replicate over here?
