Ingredients
  

Tart Crust
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1-2 tablespoons ice water as needed
Filling

  • 1 cup hibiscus tea brewed and cooled
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Method
 

Prepare the Tart Crust
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and powdered sugar. Add cold butter and mix until crumbly.
  2. Stir in egg yolk and add ice water gradually until dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough and fit it into the tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.
Prepare the Filling
  1. In a saucepan, combine chopped rhubarb, hibiscus tea, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens and rhubarb is tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Pour the filling into the cooled tart crust and spread evenly.
  4. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until set. Allow to cool before serving.
