Hibiscus Tea | Agua De Jamaica | Pressure Cooker

Did you know that pressure cooking dried hibiscus leaves make a lovely, refreshing Hibiscus Tea in your Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker? It is such a perfect drink for Summer! Ever since I made the Instant Pot Horchata, I knew it was only a matter of time before I made Agua De Jamaica in the Instant Pot. My usual problem with Hibiscus Tea is that it can be a little acidic. But once I’d made Iced tea in the Instant Pot and realized how it reduced bitterness to make it that way, I was fairly sure this method would cut down on the acidity in the Jamaica as well–and sure enough, it did.

This recipe makes a very deep, red drink. I had to take it out in the sunshine so you could see any pink in it. Making this in the Instant Pot or pressure cooker gives it such a lovely, smooth taste. The other advantage of pressure cooking was that straining it was a breeze. The petals sank to the bottom and all I had to do was pour carefully. I didn’t even need to strain really, which was nice.

Want to give my Instant Pot Instant Horchata a try? Like most things in the Instant Pot, it’s quite easy to make and it’s as delicious as the original yet with less sugar!

And if you’re looking for more great tea recipes, check out my Instant Pot Iced Tea! It’s a classic iced sweet tea that’s made even better by your Instant Pot.

So if you’re looking for a deliciously refreshing drink for the spring, summer, or really anytime of year for that matter, make this delightful Hibiscus Tea. Simply brew the tea in the Instant Pot and serve it over ice for an unbelievably simple and refreshing tea!

    We make a half-gallon of hibiscus tea two or three times a week and drink it straight or with a little squeeze of lime over ice and we love it that way. But this sounds like it would take it to the next level! My daughter has talked often of the Agua de Jamaica that she enjoyed when living in Central America, so I’m going to make this version for her next time she comes!

    Delicious drink! I learned from my Mexican born son-in-law that this is extremely popular in Mexico. He said his mother made it three times a week when he was gorowing up. He just tasted this recipe and he said it tastes like like the drink his mother makes. It is a great recipe for the Instant Pot. Thank you!

    Very good. It is also very good with some mango flavored rum.
