Hibiscus Ginger Fizz
Ingredients
- 2 hibiscus tea bags or 2 tablespoons dried hibiscus flowers
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 tablespoons honey or sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 4 ounces ginger beer chilled
- Ice
- Lime wheels and a few whole hibiscus flowers for garnish
Instructions
- Steep the hibiscus tea bags in the boiling water for 5 minutes, until the liquid turns a deep, clear red.
- Remove the tea bags, stirring in the honey while the tea is still warm so it dissolves completely.
- Let the hibiscus tea cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes, then chill it in the fridge at least 20 minutes.
- Fill two collins glasses or copper mugs with ice.
- Divide the chilled hibiscus tea and lime juice between the glasses.
- Top each with ginger beer, pouring slowly so the fizz doesn't overflow.
- Garnish with a lime wheel and a hibiscus flower, then serve.
Good to Know
Brew the hibiscus tea up to 2 days ahead and keep it covered in the fridge, it only gets more vivid.
