How to Make Immune System-Boosting Hibiscus Flower Tea
I have recently found the sort of holistic, soul-warming beauty in experimenting with tea. In this immune system-boosting recipe, you will find lemon rind and the bitter cut off natural ginger adding a sharp flavor to a full-bodied black tea base.
Black tea, robust with a slight jolt of caffeine, has immense health benefits and serves as a great base to most blended teas. When you add lemon rind, ginger, hibiscus flowers, and honey to your tea, you are quadrupling the benefits and flavor quality of each sip.
Chill for a refreshing summertime pick-me-up, or freeze for tea pops.
