    Do Algerians drink Hibiscus tea?

    Bonjour,

    I was wondering do Algerians (like Egyptians) drink Hibiscus tea (kerkady) I have been invited around someone's house for dinner and I was wondering if it would be appropriate to take some Kerkady Tea round?

    Merci.

    Salam ya Philip, welcome to Algeria.com

    Algerians do know and drink Hibiscus tea, although I am not sure how popular it is in Algeria. It is sold there, and Algerians know it as karkadé. Here's a recipe from someone with Annaba roots:



    Karkadé (Hibiscus)

    Pour 6 persons, facile préparation : 5 min infusion : 15 min

    3 poignées de fleurs d'hibiscus (séchées)

    1 litre d'eau bouillante

    sucre (selon goût)

    Dans une théière préchauffée, placez trois poignées de fleurs d'hibiscus séchées,
    versez par dessus l'eau bouillante, sucrez et laissez infuser 15 mn au minimum.

    Passez le liquide au chinois afin d'en retirer les fleurs.

    Transvasez dans un flacon et mettez au frais
