Hibiscus Lemonade
This hibiscus lemonade is a refreshing balance of tart citrus and floral sweetness. Brewed hibiscus tea gives it a deep ruby hue and a hint of berry-like flavor, while fresh lemon juice adds a bright, zesty kick. Lightly sweetened and served over ice, this vibrant drink is the perfect way to cool down on a warm day.
