Ingredients

Here’s everything you will need to make Hibiscus Lemon Tea.

Hibiscus

What makes hibiscus so special?

Hibiscus flowers have a vibrant and rich red color that will diffuse well in the water. When it comes to flavor, it has a sweet, tarty, and warm quality that gives a comforting effect.

Sometimes, using hibiscus also reminds me so much of cranberries. Its bright and refreshing flavor really makes the tea worth drinking. You will love how much it tastes fruity, too.

The hibiscus flowers are usually dried for easy and quick steeping in the morning. You can also add hibiscus to drinks, desserts, baked goods, smoothies, and more. They’re not just good for your meals, but for your health as well.

If you can’t get enough of hibiscus, then I suggest trying Sorrel Drink, Zobo Drink, and Sorrel Popsicles for the right blend of flavors. You can never go wrong with hibiscus in your diet!

Lemons

With the many ways you can use lemons,

Every tea recipe tastes better with sweeteners. In this recipe, I suggest using lemons to add a sweet, sour, and citrusy flavor. These certainly pair perfectly well with the hibiscus flowers.

I also use lemons to make sauces, pastries, desserts, seasonings, and more. Drinks and dishes will certainly taste so much better with lemons.

Don’t let your lemons go to waste, and use them for your favorite dishes and drinks. In fact, I suggest turning them into Lemon Ice Cubes for cold and sweetened drinks!

With these two ingredients, you will be on your way to a life-changing weight-loss journey!
