Jump to RecipeIngredients Needed:
Simple Syrup:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
Very Berry Hibiscus Green Tea Drink:
- 1 green tea bag
- 1 hibiscus tea bag
- 2 cup water
- 1/4 cup white grape juice
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup
- 1/4 cup frozen berries
How To Make Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher?
- Make the simple syrup: Heat water and sugar in a saucepan until boiling. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat and let it cool.
- Brew the tea: Steep the green tea and hibiscus tea bags in 2 cups of hot water for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.
- Mix the drink: In a pitcher, combine the cooled tea, white grape juice, and simple syrup. Stir well to blend the flavors.
- Serve: Fill two glasses with ice and frozen berries. Pour the tea mixture over the ice and enjoy!
Recipe Tips:
- Use the right tea bags: Green tea gives a light base, while hibiscus tea adds a fruity taste and color. Make sure to steep them for at least 5 minutes to bring out the full flavor.
- Cool everything before mixing: Let the tea and simple syrup cool completely before mixing. If they are warm, they will melt the ice too fast and water down the drink.
- Adjust the sweetness to your taste: Start with 2 tablespoons of simple syrup and add more if you like it sweeter. If you prefer a lighter taste, reduce the syrup or use a natural sweetener like honey.
- Use frozen berries for better flavor: Frozen berries keep the drink cold and release their juices slowly, making the refresher taste even better. Blackberries work best, but you can mix in raspberries or blueberries too.
- Shake or stir before serving: The ingredients can settle after sitting for a while. Before serving, stir the drink well or shake it in a closed bottle to blend the flavors evenly.
How To Store Leftovers?
Let the Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher cool to room temperature first. Then, pour it into a sealed container and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Shake or stir before serving to mix the flavors.
