What is Hibiscus?

Hibiscus is derived from a really beautiful purple flower! Its beauty makes the flower gorgeous for floral arrangements, but it also has some benefits we can’t forget when we consume it!

In late summer I started to change my eating and exercise habits and heard about hibiscus tea and it’s health benefits. I am certainly not a health expert, so do your own research on this but what the “experts” are saying, is that hibiscus tea provides many health benefits. And I am all for that!

Although, I am not a doctor you should consult one to see about these health benefits for you.

So I set out to make a low calorie, low carb, low sugar “go-to” cocktail for the WIN!

Hibiscus Tea Health Benefits:

Relief from high blood pressure and high cholesterol, calming to the digestive and immune system and helps with inflammation.  All GOOD!

What do I need to make a Hibiscus Cocktail?

These ingredients will make 4 cocktails:

• 4 hibiscus tea bags Tazo brand- Passion herbal tea has hibiscus, orange peel rose, hips and passion fruit~ its what I use!
• 2 cups boiling water
• organic liquid stevia drops a healthy calorie free/zero carb sweetener made from the stevia leaf
• 1 shot of vodka per cocktail Tito’s is gluten-free, and 100 calories per 1.5 oz shot
• sparkling mineral water zero calorie Perrier, La Croix, etc
• squeeze fresh lime or lemon juice

How do I make a Hibiscus Cocktail?

It couldn’t be easier, am I right??

Now that is what I am talking about, a festive, healthy and refreshing cocktail without the guilt from sugar, carbs, and calories!

Be well, and be healthy.
