Ingredients
- 1 cup dried hibiscus flowers
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the dried hibiscus flowers, then remove from heat. Let the flowers steep in the hot water for about 5 minutes, until the water transforms into a deep crimson color with a fragrant floral aroma.
- Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the raspberries, honey or agave syrup, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, releasing a burst of the berries’ vivid, sweet-tangy flavors.
- Once the hibiscus infusion is ready, strain the liquid into a large jug, discarding the used flowers. The tangy aroma of hibiscus will fill the air, promising a refreshing beverage.
- Pour the raspberry mixture into the jug with the hibiscus tea and stir well to combine all the vibrant flavors.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Raspberry Hibiscus Juice over the top. The ice will create a gently chilled delight, perfect for any occasion.
- Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness that will make each sip feel like a day at the spa.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of honey or agave syrup to suit your taste.
- For a touch of tropical flair, add a splash of pineapple juice to the mix.
- Serve in a chilled glass for extra refreshment, making it a perfect choice for sunny outdoor gatherings or cozy family nights in.
Storage and Substitutions
- Refrigerate the prepared Raspberry Hibiscus Juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving.
- If fresh raspberries are not available, frozen raspberries work just as well.
- For a sugar-free option, replace honey or agave syrup with a natural sweetener like stevia.
