I have spent more than a few days feeling tired all day long. Don’t you just hate those days? I committed to drinking green tea every day. and It’s truly the antidote to what ails you.

Not to say I haven’t had my bad days. But the good days are better, and the bad days are not as bad as the worst ones. (My ode to Bilbo Baggins).

Anyway, I’ve discovered that the right beverage can make all the difference. I’m enjoying flavored green teas, such as this one, and also my strawberry green tea beverage. So refreshing!

Hibiscus Tea Ingredients

You can find the full printable recipe, including ingredient quantities, below. But first, here are some explanations of ingredients and steps to help you make this recipe perfect every time.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe, including substitution ideas:

  • Filtered water — You can use plain tap water, but I feel like filtered water delivers the best flavors of the drink. If your water has any flavor at all, you’ll want to use filtered water.
  • Green tea — I use either Kirkland Japanese Green Tea or Sprouts Green Tea.
  • Hibiscus Tea — You can make your own Hibiscus Tea or use Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger or any hibiscus herbal tea bag.
  • Mint tea — This is optional, but I enjoy adding a mint flavor. Any herbal mint tea bag will work. I used Bigelow Mint Medley.
  • Sweetener — You don’t have to have a sweetener. But if you want it a little sweet, I like using stevia and/or monk fruit. Or you can add maple syrup or agave nectar and stir it in.
  • Garnishes — Garnish this fruit punch with lemon or orange slices, fresh berries, and sprigs of mint.

      Hey Rita! I’m so glad you like the look of it. I’m SO surprised out how much hibiscus tea tastes like that Hawaiian punch stuff. Shawn’s not a big fan of mint so I leave that out for him. You may prefer it without mint too, but I happen to love the mint. In fact, now that my mint is coming up in the yard, I’m ready to add some fresh mint to my daily fruit punch. Yay!
