3
whole dried hibiscus flowers
4
tablespoons
lemon juice
fresh squeezed
1
tablespoon
honey
more or less to taste
Ice
1
cup
sparkling water

Instructions
Add water to a small saucepan and bring it to boil over medium-high heat. Remove the pot from the heat and place it on the countertop.
Add the hibiscus flowers and let them steep for 5 minutes.
Remove the hibiscus and cool the tea to room temperature.
Add the lemon juice and honey, stir until combined and the honey is dissolved. Taste and add more honey if desired.
Take 2 tall glasses, add ice to each glass.
Add the cooled hibiscus tea mixture to each glass and top the glass with sparkling water. Add lemon slices and serve chilled.
Notes
We like to add some lemon juice and honey to give this some added flavor, this is optional.
You will need the whole dried hibiscus flower.
You can double or triple this recipe to make a larger batch to keep in the refrigerator to serve later
This can be served warm or cold, that is a personal preference.
We use some sparkling water to pour over the top to give it a little bubble.
