# Ingredients:
→ Main Components
01 -
2 cups of water
02 -
2 tablespoons of dried hibiscus flowers or 2 hibiscus tea bags
03 -
½ a cup of strawberries
04 -
¼ cup of lemon juice, freshly squeezed
05 -
2 to 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, depending on how sweet you like it
→ Extra Toppings
06 -
Mint leaves (fresh)
07 -
Slices of strawberries
08 -
Lemon wedges
# Steps:
01 -
Start by boiling water in a tea kettle. Take it off the heat and toss in the tea bags or hibiscus flowers. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes to steep. After that, take the tea bags out or strain the flowers out. Set it aside and let it cool down.
02 -
Slice up the strawberries after rinsing them. Pop them into a blender along with a quarter cup of the cooled tea. Blend them until completely smooth. If you prefer a refined texture, strain the mixture using a nut milk bag or fine sieve.
03 -
Pour the cooled tea, strawberry blend, lemon juice, and maple syrup into a big pitcher. Stir thoroughly. Taste it and make adjustments—add more syrup if it needs to be sweeter or lemon juice if you’d like it tangier.
04 -
Fill glasses with ice and pour in your drink. If you'd like, decorate it with fresh strawberries, mint leaves, or lemon slices. Sip and enjoy!
