Description
This refreshing Hibiscus Tea Strawberry-Lemonade Refresher is a vibrant, tangy, and naturally sweetened beverage perfect for warm days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups water
- 2 hibiscus tea bags (or 2 tablespoons dried hibiscus flowers)
- 1/2 cup strawberries
- 1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup, adjust to taste
- Extra sliced strawberries
- Extra lemon slices
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a tea kettle. Remove from heat, then add the hibiscus tea bags or dried hibiscus flowers. Let steep for 5-7 minutes depending on your preferred tea strength. Remove the tea bags or strain out the flowers, and allow the tea to cool completely.
- Wash and slice the strawberries. Add them to a blender together with 1/4 cup of the cooled hibiscus tea. Blend until smooth to create a strawberry puree. For a smoother texture, optionally strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag.
- In a large pitcher, mix the remaining cooled hibiscus tea, the strawberry puree, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and maple syrup. Stir well to combine all flavors. Taste the mixture and adjust by adding more maple syrup for sweetness or more lemon juice for tartness according to your preference.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the refresher over the ice, and garnish with additional sliced strawberries, lemon slices, and fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the revitalizing drink.
