Cold brew hibiscus tea
Don’t like the taste of water? Try cold brew hibiscus and lemon tea. Fill a bottle and leave it in the fridge overnight, by tomorrow you’ll have a lovely ruby red refreshing brew. It tastes sour with a little sweetness, similar to cranberry. It’s great with carbonated water if you like a little fizz. I’ve not tried it but I’m pretty sure this would make a good mixer for gin too.
