Hibiscus tea is a very refreshing beverage, made with fresh or dried hibiscus flowers. It can be enjoyed hot or cold and offers several health benefits when consumed in moderation.
There’s an ongoing event that involves the preparation of summer coolers on my online food group. I decided to participate and prepared this mildly spiced hibiscus iced tea cooler.
The first thing that hits you when you have a sip of this gorgeous crimson-colored drink is the sweet lemony note, it’s so refreshing on a hot summer’s day. This is definitely a must-try!
