Notes

Expert Tips

Cocktail Version: If you want to transform this hibiscus lemonade into a cocktail, simply add 4-6 oz of vodka to the pitcher. Keep in mind that this is not paleo-friendly.
Hibiscus Tea: You can use whatever brand you like, though I highly recommend Buddha Tea. You can find various versions of Hibiscus teas from specialty tea shops, grocery stores, and even Amazon.

Serving Tips

Pour over a glass filled with ice cubes and muddled mint if desired. Garnish with lemon wedges, fresh mint leaves, and enjoy!

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Give it a good stir, then pour over a glass of ice. I recommend drinking it within 3-4 days.
