Our friends at the Conscious Cleanse created a thirst-quenching mocktail (with an optional cocktail add-on) made with our loose leaf Organic Hibiscus tea. It's so delicious and easy breezy that they included it in their new Guide to Cocktails and Mocktails this summer!
Hibiscus Tea Cooler
Yield: 4 mocktails
Ingredients:
• 4 cups water
• 4 tsp. loose leaf Hibiscus Petals tea
• 1 cup maple syrup
• 2 TB. lemon juice
• 1 TB. lime juice
• 1 cup ice
Instructions:
1) In a medium saucepan, combine water, hibiscus tea, and maple syrup over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the maple syrup has dissolved.
2) Allow the mixture to cool for 25 minutes, then add lemon juice and lime juice.
In a tall glass pitcher filled with ice, strain the hibiscus tea mocktail into the pitcher and discard the tea flowers. Refrigerate until ready to use
To make into a cocktail: When adding the lemon and lime juice, also add 1 cup chilled vodka.
Sounds so good. I think I might try a gin version =P
