Hibiscus Iced Tea Sparkler

The sun is shining and that always has me craving some form of iced tea. I have always been a fan of brewing my own flavors of iced tea so this recipe is right up my alley. As the weather gets warmer, I know I’ll be making this in pitcher form as it won’t last long in our fridge! Grab your pitcher and follow along with this recipe:

4 cups boiling water

8 bags hibiscus tea

1/2 cup honey

ice

2 cups sparkling water

1/4 cup mint leaves

strawberries for garnish

1. In a large pitcher, combine tea bags, honey, and boiling water; let steep 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how strong you like your tea.

2. Remove tea bags.

3. Add mint.

4. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until chilled.

5. Add ice to pitcher and stir in sparkling water. (sometimes if it’s just for myself, I like to just make pitcher of iced tea and hold off on adding the soda water. Therefore, when I want one, I just pour the iced tea into a glass and top with fresh soda so it stays bubbly.)

6. Garnish with strawberries.

7. Serve and Enjoy :)
