• Tea strainer or fine mesh sieve
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Wooden spoon or muddler
• Glass serving cups
• Ice cube trays

Ingredients

• 4 cups water
• 4 hibiscus tea bags
• 2 cups fresh mixed berries strawberries, raspberries, blackberries
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/3 cup honey or agave nectar
• 2 cups sparkling water
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish
• Extra berries for garnish

Instructions

• Bring water to a boil in a pot. Then, remove from heat and add hibiscus tea bags.
• Let the tea steep for 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags and let it cool to room temperature.
• Place berries in the pitcher and muddle gently to release their juices.
• Add the cooled hibiscus tea, lime juice, and honey to the pitcher. Then, stir until the honey dissolves.
• Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until cold.
• Just before serving, add sparkling water and stir gently.
• Fill glasses with ice and pour the mixture over.

Notes

Store the base mixture without sparkling water in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add the sparkling water only when ready to serve.

For a sweeter drink, add more honey or agave nectar to taste.

To make ahead, prepare the base mixture and keep it separate from the sparkling water. Add the sparkling water right before serving to maintain carbonation.

Frozen berries can replace fresh ones when out of season.

Tasting Notes

The Berry Hibiscus Refresher has a bright, fruity taste with a sweet-tart balance. Fresh berries create a natural sweetness while hibiscus adds a pleasant tang.

The drink shows off a vibrant ruby-red color that catches the eye. When served over ice, tiny bubbles from the sparkling water dance through the drink.

A light floral note from the hibiscus tea blends with the mixed berries. The taste is not too sweet, making it perfect for warm days.

The texture is smooth and refreshing. Each sip starts with berry flavors and ends with subtle hibiscus notes.

Key Flavor Notes:

• Mixed berry (raspberry, blackberry, strawberry)
• Tart hibiscus
• Light floral hints
• Gentle sweetness
• Clean, crisp finish

The sparkling water adds a nice fizzy touch without taking away from the main flavors. Fresh mint leaves give an optional cooling effect when used as a garnish.

Temperature affects the taste profile. When served extra cold, the berry notes become more bold. At room temperature, the hibiscus flavors are more noticeable.

Substitute

The berry mix can be changed with:

• Mixed frozen berries
• Fresh strawberries

• Blackberries

Simple syrup alternatives include:

The lime juice adds tartness, but these work too:

Each substitute will change the taste slightly. The drink stays refreshing no matter which ingredients you pick.
