Instructions
Making this mocktail is super easy!
- Start by brewing hibiscus tea and letting it cool completely.
- Blend the tea with orange juice, lemon juice, and your sweetener of choice until well mixed. You can adjust sweetness to your taste.

- Finally, garnish the drink with orange slices, lemon slices, and mint leaves.
Mix well with a spoon before serving.
Notes
A couple of helpful tips to perfect your mocktail. If you want it sweeter, add more honey or sugar to taste. I sometimes swap the soda water for sparkling water for a slightly different fizz.
For a fun twist, try adding a splash of lime juice or a pinch of ginger for some spice! If you're serving to guests, prepare some garnishes in advance to save time. Don’t forget to engage with your creativity and try new flavors. 🌿
