Hibiscus tea bags (I use Sadaf, Buddha Teas, or the hibiscus tea in my Prolon boxes)
Ice
Fresh lime juice
Couple drops of stevia (I am using Thrive Market brand or NOW) or your favorite sweetener to taste
Sparkling Water
Fresh mint leaves
Other add-ins: berries or pineapple (I have added the washed rind of pineapple after I cut it up.)
Instructions
I make a big batch of strong hibiscus tea and keep it in the fridge. Figure 2 tea bags for 16 ounces of hot water. (I usually do 4-5 for a pitcher of water.) Allow teabags to steep until water is room temperature, about 2-3 hours. Transfer to jars or bottles and refrigerate until cold.
Add a few ice cubes to a 12-ounce glass and fill it about ¾ with chilled hibiscus tea. Add the juice of half a lime (sometimes I add a full lime.). Add a few drops of stevia or to taste. Top off with sparkling water and stir. Add mint leaves and enjoy.
