What is Hibiscus Tea Lemonade?

Hibiscus Tea Lemonade is exactly what it sounds like — a blend of brewed hibiscus tea and freshly squeezed lemonade. But don’t let its simplicity fool you. This drink is:

• Refreshing with a naturally tart kick
• Beautifully colored (seriously, it’s Instagram-ready)
• Loaded with antioxidants
• Customizable for sweetness and flavor
  

Made with Danfe Tea’s Hibiscus Green Tea, which includes the tangy hibiscus flower and invigorating green tea leaves, this lemonade goes beyond thirst-quenching — it boosts wellness too.

Benefits of Hibiscus and Green Tea

Let’s break down why this power duo makes such a great team:

1. Rich in Antioxidants

Hibiscus and green tea are both loaded with antioxidants that help fight free radicals in the body. This helps keep your skin glowing and your immune system in top shape.

2. May Support Heart Health

Studies suggest that hibiscus may help lower blood pressure, while green tea is known for supporting cholesterol regulation. Together? A heart-loving combo.

3. Natural Energy Boost

Green tea contains a small amount of caffeine and L-theanine, which boosts alertness without the jitters — perfect for a midday pick-me-up.

4. Supports Metabolism and Weight Management

Both teas are great for digestion and may help boost your metabolism. Not a bad bonus for a drink that tastes like a treat.

5. Hydrating and Low-Calorie

Unlike sugary sodas or packaged drinks, this lemonade hydrates you with minimal calories, especially if you control the sweetener.

How to Make Hibiscus Tea Lemonade

Here’s how to make this summer essential in just a few steps.

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp Danfe Hibiscus Green Tea

• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3–4 lemons)
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
