When it comes to revitalising your day, few beverages match the vibrant colours and invigorating flavours of an Elderberry Hibiscus Iced Tea. This iced tea blends the tangy zest of hibiscus with the natural sweetness of elderberry, creating a refreshing drink that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious. Not only does it provide a burst of flavour, but it also comes with potential health benefits from the antioxidants found in both elderberry and hibiscus.
A Symphony of Flavours
Elderberry is celebrated for its potential immune-supporting properties and rich antioxidant content, while hibiscus contributes a tart, floral note along with additional antioxidants that may help with maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. When these two ingredients are combined, they create a perfectly balanced iced tea that is both invigorating and soothing.
How to Make It
This recipe is simple and quick—ideal for a busy morning or a refreshing afternoon break.
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp elderberry hibiscus iced tea

Instructions:
- Steep: Bring one cup of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of elderberry hibiscus iced tea to the boiling water and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Sweeten: While the tea is still hot, stir in 1 tsp of agave syrup. This not only enhances the flavour but also complements the natural tartness of hibiscus and the subtle sweetness of elderberry.
- Cool and Serve: Set the tea aside to cool to room temperature, then serve over ice for a refreshing chill.
