The objective of this research was to make a herbal tea formulation that has a high antioxidant activity and is preferred from a mixture of bitter melon fruit
and red dragon fruit skin that has been dried at 50-60°C. The antioxidant activity were measured by free radical scavenging method with DPPH; whereas organoleptic test was measured by hedonik method. The results of 5 formulas indicate that antioxidant activity is the highest in FIII formula that has the most content of bitter melon fruit. Data were analyzed using one way ANOVA and Tukey method at 99% confidence level. The herbal tea formulation of a coarse powder mixture of 1.75 g of bitter melon fruit and a coarse powder of 0.25 g red dragon fruit showed the highest antioxidant activity with percent inhibition of 98,249% and preferably with the likes after adding 30 mL of honey.
