Ingredients
Scale
Tea Base
- 2 cups brewed hibiscus tea, chilled
Sweetener & Citrus
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
To Serve
- Sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- Lime slices (for garnish)
- Edible flowers (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tea Mix: In a pitcher, combine the chilled brewed hibiscus tea with the freshly squeezed lime juice and honey or agave syrup. Stir thoroughly to ensure the sweetener dissolves completely and the flavors meld together.
- Fill the Glasses: Place a generous amount of ice cubes into each serving glass to keep the drink refreshingly cold.
- Pour the Tea Mixture: Pour the hibiscus tea mixture over the ice in each glass, filling them about halfway to allow room for sparkling water.
- Add Sparkling Water: Top off each glass with sparkling water to add a lively fizz and balance the tartness with gentle bubbles.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass with fresh lime slices and edible flowers for a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately for the best refreshing experience.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or agave syrup according to taste.
- Use chilled hibiscus tea to avoid diluting the drink with melting ice.
- Edible flowers not only enhance appearance but also lend a subtle fragrance; ensure they are food-safe.
- For a non-fizzy version, substitute sparkling water with still water or additional brewed hibiscus tea.
- Hibiscus tea can be brewed by steeping dried hibiscus petals in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes and then chilling.
