Prune hibiscus water is water infused with dried plums, also called prunes, and hibiscus. The fruit gives it a mild fruity note, while hibiscus adds a floral, tart flavor; added sweetener is optional.
To make prune hibiscus water, steep dried prunes and hibiscus in hot water, then strain and chill it. You can also infuse the ingredients in cold water in the refrigerator for a gentler flavor.
No, prune hibiscus water made with just prunes, hibiscus, and water is caffeine-free. Adding black or green tea changes that, so check the other ingredients if you buy a bottled blend.
Yes, prune hibiscus water can be served hot as well as chilled. Hot water draws out the hibiscus flavor quickly, making it a fragrant caffeine-free alternative to tea when you want a warm drink.
Prune hibiscus water tastes lightly fruity and floral, with a tart edge from the hibiscus. The prunes bring a mellow sweetness, but the finished drink is not necessarily sweet unless extra sugar or another sweetener is added.
Keep prune hibiscus water in a covered container in the refrigerator and drink it while fresh. Discard it if its smell, appearance, or taste changes, and avoid leaving it at room temperature for an extended period.
Prune hibiscus water is not a treatment for constipation. Whole prunes contain fiber and sorbitol, but a strained infusion may contain less of these than the fruit itself, depending on how it is prepared.
Yes, fresh plums can flavor hibiscus water, but the result will taste different from prune hibiscus water. Prunes have a deeper, more concentrated dried-fruit flavor, while fresh plums usually make a lighter-tasting infusion.
No, prune hibiscus water does not need added sugar. Taste it after steeping first; if you prefer it sweeter, add a small amount of sweetener rather than assuming the prunes will make the drink taste like juice.
Yes, you can eat the prunes after making prune hibiscus water if they have been handled and stored safely. They may be softer and less flavorful after steeping, so add them to porridge or yogurt rather than expecting their original texture.

Prune hibiscus water is an infused drink made by steeping dried plums, or prunes, with hibiscus. It is easy to prepare at home: use hot water for a quicker infusion, then chill it, or let the ingredients steep in cold water for a longer, gentler flavour. It is not a single fixed recipe, so the balance can be adjusted to taste.
The drink has a lightly tart, fruity flavour and a floral aroma, with hibiscus lending it colour. Serve it chilled on a warm day, alongside a meal, or as a refreshing alternative to a sweetened drink. It is mostly water and low in calories, with only a little fruit-derived carbohydrate. For a lighter taste, steep the prunes briefly and dilute the infusion; ice or a slice of citrus also pairs well.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
