There’s nothing like an ice cold sip of lemonade on a hot day to quench your thirst. It’s satisfying, refreshing, and just so wonderful. To give a healthier twist on the traditional version, I made this honey lemonade combined with beautifully vibrant hibiscus tea. And the result is just so amazing, tart, and slightly floral!

What are the Benefits of Hibiscus?

Besides adding a deliciously tart and slightly floral flavor to this paleo lemonade, hibiscus has amazing health components. So what are the benefits of hibiscus? It’s loaded with vitamin C and bioflavonoids, both of which are rich in antioxidants that repair cell damage and fight free radicals. It can also help lower blood pressure as well!

Organic Buddha Teas

I’ve been a longtime customer of Buddha Teas, because their products are 100% unaltered, organic, and wildcrafted. Their teas are made from the freshest herbs and leaves, and packaged in bleach-free bags (something I always check for when I purchase teas). Plus, the teas always taste fantastic and so high quality!

I do want to highlight two other teas that I’ve been loving from Buddha Teas besides their Organic Hibiscus Tea:

• Organic Elderberry Tea: Anytime I feel like I’m coming down with something, I reach for this tea and it really does help keep sickness at bay. Elderberry is incredibly powerful at boosting the immune system with its high levels of flavonol. I love the slightly fruity flavor of this tea as well.
• Organic Burdock Root Tea: I recently started incorporating burdock tea into my diet. I find that it’s especially helpful when I have bit of indigestion or bloating. That’s because it contains inulin, a prebiotic that’s known to detoxify the body. It definitely has an earthy taste, but I actually find it very pleasant!
