To keep your brewed infusion tasting crisp and fresh, store the finished drink in a sealed glass pitcher or mason jar in the refrigerator.
It stays fresh for up to 4 to 5 days when kept cold. Avoid storing herbal infusions in unlined aluminum or metal containers, as the natural fruit acids in hibiscus can react with reactive metals.
You can also pour the concentrated brew into ice cube trays and freeze them to flavor your daily drinking water.
