What sparked this recipe today is that my girlfriend and I were chatting about how she switched from drinking coffee to now only drinking loose tea leaves tea. She no longer purchases the packaged teas sold in the stores because loose tea leaves taste much better than commercially packaged ones. One of my favorite tea leaves is hibiscus leaves. However, as a coffee lover, I couldn’t see myself switching cold turkey.

Nothing is more refreshing on a hot summer day than an icy glass of hibiscus iced tea with lemon. This drink will satisfy your summertime thirst with its bright pink color and tart flavor. Hibiscus is a delicious flower used for centuries in many different types of beverages. It’s rich in antioxidants and has naturally sweet notes that pair perfectly with the sourness of lemon juice.
