Ingredients
  

  • 4 hibiscus tea bags
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1/4 cup honey or agave nectar
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries
  • 3 cups sparkling water chilled
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice about 2 lemons
  • Fresh mint leaves for muddling and garnish
  • Ice cubes
  • Extra whole berries for garnish

Method
 

  1. Steep the hibiscus tea bags in 2 cups of boiling water for 5 minutes to create a strong concentrate, then remove the tea bags and stir in the honey until completely dissolved. Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or up to 2 days ahead.
  2. When ready to serve, add about 1/4 cup of mixed berries and 4-5 mint leaves to each glass and gently muddle with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the juices and oils.
  3. Fill each glass with ice cubes, then pour 1/2 cup of the chilled hibiscus concentrate into each glass.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to each glass, then top with about 3/4 cup of sparkling water and stir gently to combine.
  5. Garnish with additional fresh berries and a sprig of mint, and serve immediately while still bubbly.
