Spiced Hibiscus Iced Tea: your new favourite drink! It’s tasty, pretty & full of powerful antioxidants.
Hibiscus has a fresh floral & fruity taste. It’s both tart & sweet. And combined with warm spices like cinnamon & cloves, this drink is perfect both on a hot summer day or a cool fall evening. This is my go-to as something to sip on regularly, as a mocktail to serve, and to bring to events where I don’t want alcohol.
Hibiscus tea is rich in antioxidants that destroy harmful molecules in our bodies that are known as free radicals. And it’s particularly high in anthocyanin, which has potent anti-inflammatory effects & is associated with disease prevention. This tea has also been shown to lower blood pressure, and if you’re weight-conscious, you’ll be happy to hear it has essentially 0 calories!
Hibiscus Iced Tea is a perfect mocktail for a hot day or cool fall evening!
