Hibiscus Lemonade
عصير الليمون مع الكركديه
I love to enjoy a refreshing cup of ice cold hibiscus lemonade in the hot summer days. Most days here in California, we have some pretty nice weather and I usually end up making this drink year round. Don't get me wrong, I love a simple lemonade but hibiscus just gives it that wonderful color and added tartness.
I usually use the Passion Tazo tea bags for this drink. That's my favorite hibiscus tea bag to use because it has a combination of hibiscus flowers, orange peel, rose hips, and passion fruit, but you can definitely use any other kind of hibiscus tea you have on hand. It'll still taste amazing.
If you have fresh, or dried, hibiscus flowers, you can definitely use that!
