Raspberry leaf & Hibiscus Tea
This raspberry leaf and hibiscus tea is my go-to cozy drink before period cramps roll around. Raspberry leaf has a mild, earthy flavor, while hibiscus adds beautiful color and a slightly tart, fruity taste. It’s simple to sip, and feels like a little moment of self-care during those not-so-fun days of the month.
Servings: 6 People
Equipment
- 1 32oz Jug or Pitcher For Brewing the tea
- 1 Spoon For Stirring
- 1 Glass For Serving
- 1 Straw Optional for serving

Instructions
- Bring your water to a boil. While the water is heating, prepare a large jug or pitcher for your tea.
- Pour the honey into the bottom of your jug. Adding it first makes it easier to dissolve once the hot eater is added.
- Carefully pour the boiling water into the jug over the honey. Give it a good stir until the honey has completely dissolved into the water.
- Add your raspberry leaf tea and let it steep for 7 to 10 minutes. This gives the tea time to develop its flavor.
- Remove the raspberry leaf tea, then add the hibiscus flowers to the jug. Let them steep until the tea reaches the flavor and color you like.
- Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then store it in the refrigerator. Chill until completely cold and ready to serve.
- Pour the chilled tea over ice, and top with as much sparkling water as you'd like. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice, give it a stir, and enjoy.
