Hibiscus-and-Ginger Iced Tea

Hibiscus-and-Ginger Iced Tea

If any drink was made for leisurely back-porch sipping, it's iced tea. Our version is brewed from zesty hibiscus tea, which is made from coppery-red hibiscus leaves and is naturally caffeine free. Ginger syrup and fresh lemon juice add layers of flavor.
