Ingredients
- 2 cups dried hibiscus flowers
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Lemon slices and fresh mint for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the dried hibiscus flowers. Let steep for about 15-20 minutes.
- Strain the hibiscus tea through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher, discarding the flowers.
- While the tea is still warm, stir in the granulated sugar until fully dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, add the fresh lemon juice to the hibiscus tea and mix well.
- In a blender, combine the hibiscus lemonade mixture with 1 cup of ice cubes. Blend until smooth and slushy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar or lemon juice.
- Pour into glasses and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint if desired.
Notes
- For a sweeter drink, add more sugar or a splash of simple syrup.
- You can also substitute part of the water with sparkling water for a fizzy twist.
- For a fun variation, try adding fresh berries or a splash of your favorite fruit juice before blending.
