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!
