Ingredients

• 4 cups water

• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
• 1/4 cup honey or your choice of sweetener
• Lemon slices (for garnish)
• Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

2. Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the hibiscus tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes, creating a deep, rich red infusion.
3. Remove the tea bags and let the hibiscus tea cool to room temperature. Feel free to inhale the floral aroma as it cools.
4. In a large pitcher, combine the cooled hibiscus tea with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir in the honey or your preferred sweetener until fully dissolved. Savor the tangy aroma of the lemon blending with the floral tea.
5. Fill tall glasses with ice cubes and pour in the lemon hibiscus tea. Watch the vibrant colors dance together with the chill of the ice.
6. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
