Hibiscus Iced Tea Recipe
I first tried hibiscus tea at a friend’s garden brunch and couldn’t believe how bright, tangy, and refreshing it was. I started brewing it at home, and now it’s become one of my favorite afternoon pick-me-ups. It’s caffeine-free, gorgeous, and tastes like summer in a glass. I love serving it over ice with citrus slices — it always feels like a little moment of self-care.
