Ingredients
Tea Mixture
2 cups brewed hibiscus tea (chilled)
1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
To Serve
Sparkling water (to top off)
Ice cubes
Lime slices (for garnish)
Edible flowers (for garnish)
Instructions
Mix Ingredients. In a pitcher, combine the chilled hibiscus tea, freshly squeezed lime juice, and honey or agave syrup. Stir well until the sweetener is fully dissolved and the mixture is evenly blended.
Prepare Glasses. Fill each serving glass with ice cubes to chill and cool the drink.
Pour Tea Mixture. Pour the hibiscus tea mixture over the ice in each glass, filling about halfway to allow room for sparkling water.
Add Sparkling Water. Top off each glass with sparkling water to add a refreshing fizz and lighten the intensity of the tea.
Garnish and Serve. Garnish each glass with a lime slice and edible flowers to add a fresh aroma and attractive presentation. Serve immediately for the best taste.
Notes
Adjust the amount of honey or agave syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
For a stronger flavor, use a more concentrated brewed hibiscus tea or steep the tea longer.
You can substitute sparkling water with plain chilled water for a less fizzy version.
Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
Edible flowers add a beautiful presentation but are optional.
Serve immediately to keep the sparkling water fizzy and the drink cold.
