Ingredient Spotlight

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the powerhouse ingredients in this refreshing herbal blend:

Hibiscus petals
Naturally tart and deeply red, hibiscus is known for its high vitamin C content, anti-inflammatory compounds, and potential to support healthy blood pressure. It gives the tea its gorgeous ruby hue and bright, tangy flavor.

Dried rose petals
These delicate petals bring floral elegance and are known for their mood-soothing properties.

Rose may help ease stress and support digestion while adding a romantic fragrance.

Berries (fresh or frozen)
Berries like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries are rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which support brain health, heart health, and radiant skin. They also lend a touch of natural sweetness.

Raw honey or maple syrup (optional)
Both are gentle, natural sweeteners with added benefits—raw honey is antimicrobial, while maple syrup contains trace minerals like manganese and zinc.

Green Tea
This gentle energizer is loaded with antioxidants, especially EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which supports metabolism, brain health, and cellular repair.

Green tea provides a mild caffeine boost—enough to enhance focus and energy without the jitters.

Its grassy, slightly astringent flavor brings depth and balance to the fruity tartness of hibiscus and the floral softness of rose.

It also acts as a natural mood and cognition booster, making this iced tea a beautiful blend of calm and clarity.

Lemon juice (optional)
Enhances the color and flavor while boosting vitamin C and adding a refreshing zing.

Ingredients

Makes about 4 servings

• 2 tablespoons dried hibiscus petals
• 1 tablespoon dried rose petals (culinary grade)
• 1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
• 4 cups filtered water
• 1–2 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup (optional)
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
• Ice cubes
• Mint leaves and extra berries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Boil the water
   Bring 4 cups of filtered water to a boil. Remove from heat.
2. Steep the herbs and berries
   Add the hibiscus, rose petals, and berries to the hot water. Cover and let steep for 15–20 minutes for full flavor and color.
3. Strain and sweeten
   Strain the tea into a glass pitcher or large jar, pressing on the berries to extract their juices. Stir in honey or maple syrup (if using), and a splash of lemon juice to enhance brightness.
4. Cool and chill
   Let the tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled—at least 1 hour.
5. Serve over ice
   Fill glasses with ice, pour the chilled tea, and garnish with mint and extra berries.

Variations and Substitutions

• Use rose water: If dried rose petals aren’t available, add 1/4 teaspoon culinary rose water after steeping.
• Make it bubbly: Add a splash of sparkling water to each glass for a refreshing fizz.
• Add herbs: Try a sprig of fresh basil or rosemary during steeping for a unique twist.
• Skip the sweetener: Enjoy it unsweetened for a more tart, cleansing herbal experience.

Storage Tips

• Refrigeration: Store leftovers in a sealed glass container for up to 3 days.
• Freeze it: Pour tea into ice cube trays and freeze. Use in future teas or mocktails to prevent dilution.
• Avoid metal: Use non-metal containers for storage to preserve the delicate floral flavor.
