Ingredients

Scale

Tea Base

  • 2 teaspoons hibiscus tea (or 1 tea bag)
  • ⅓ cup hot water

Drink Mixture

  • ⅔ cup lemonade
  • 1 cup ice

Garnish (Optional)

  • 2 lemon slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare Hibiscus Tea: Put hibiscus tea and ⅓ cup of hot water into a teapot. Boil water on the stovetop or use an electric kettle set to 195°F to ensure optimal steeping temperature.
  2. Steep and Cool: Cover and steep the hibiscus tea for 5 minutes. Herbal teas like hibiscus can be steeped longer without bitterness. Strain the tea and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  3. Assemble Lemonade: Pour ⅔ cup of lemonade into a serving glass filled with 1 cup of ice. Add the cooled hibiscus tea and stir gently to combine.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with thinly sliced lemon slices for added visual appeal and citrus aroma. Serve immediately for the best refreshing experience.

Notes

  • Use natural lemonade for a sweeter, more authentic flavor or fresh lemon juice mixed with sweetener and water to control sweetness.
  • You can adjust the amount of hibiscus tea or lemonade to taste, depending on your preference for tartness or sweetness.
  • To make it vegan-friendly, ensure your lemonade does not contain honey or animal-derived additives.
  • Serve with ice to keep the drink cold and refreshing, especially on warm days.
  • Hibiscus tea is naturally caffeine-free, making this a perfect drink for any time of day.
