Hibiscus & Orange Iced Tea

Hibiscus tea is a beautiful tea both in appearance and flavour, and to make it all the more lovely it can be drunk both hot and cold. With it’s deep pink colour and lovely smell it makes a soothing warm cuppa on a cold day, yet as an iced tea in the summer it can be very refreshing.

Today I wanted to share a recipe with you made from one of our very own blends, the Hibiscus Orange tea. A beautiful blend of – you guessed it – Hibiscus and Orange but broken up with more earthly flavours from the remaining ingredients.

For a little extra sweetness, we do also recommend adding honey. We chose to use our homemade Dandelion Honey but if you don’t have time to make this you can of course use normal honey too.
