Hibiscus Strawberry Lemonade (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
2 hibiscus tea bags or 2 tablespoons of dried hibiscus flowers
02 -
2 cups of water
03 -
½ cup of fresh strawberries
04 -
¼ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
05 -
2-3 tablespoons of maple syrup, adjust to your liking
→ Optional Toppings
06 -
Lemon slices
07 -
Fresh mint sprigs
08 -
Extra strawberry slices
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat water in a kettle until it boils, then turn off the heat. Toss in the hibiscus flowers or tea bags and let them steep for 5-7 minutes. Once it's the strength you want, strain out the flowers or take out the tea bags. Let the tea cool all the way down.
02 -
Rinse and slice the strawberries. Toss them into a blender along with about ¼ cup of the cooled hibiscus tea. Blend till it’s smooth. If you prefer, strain it with a sieve or nut milk bag to make it extra smooth.
03 -
In a big pitcher, pour in the rest of the cooled tea, the strawberry blend, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Stir everything till it's well mixed. Taste and tweak by adding more syrup for sweetness or more lemon juice if you like it tangy. Serve it over ice and add some strawberry slices, mint, or lemon on top.
# Notes:
01 -
You can make the hibiscus tea a couple of days ahead and refrigerate it. This cuts down the prep time to roughly 10 minutes when you're ready to fix this drink.
