Chicken Free Iced Hibiscus Berry Tea
Few drinks are as visually stunning as a glass filled with deep ruby tea, jewel-toned berries, and a pile of ice. This refreshing hibiscus blend gets its gorgeous color and tart floral flavor from dried hibiscus flowers simmered with cinnamon and fresh ginger — a combination that smells absolutely incredible while it's on the stove. A touch of honey rounds out the natural tartness, and a squeeze of lemon juice adds a bright finishing note if you're in the mood for it. The whole thing comes together with pantry-friendly ingredients and zero fuss, making it just as fitting for a casual afternoon as it is for a backyard gathering. Piling fresh blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries right into the glass before pouring means every sip comes with a little burst of fruit. It's the kind of drink that looks like you spent way more time on it than you actually did.
