Hibiscus Honey Palmer – A Bold, Beautiful, and Balancing Beverage!
This drink blends brewed hibiscus petals and fresh lemon juice with the golden sweetness of honey to create a strikingly vibrant, tangy-sweet refresher. It’s a naturally gorgeous alternative to sugary sodas and store-bought lemonade, offering a unique balance of flavors with immune-boosting and hydrating benefits. Whether you’re unwinding solo or entertaining guests, the Hibiscus Honey Palmer will brighten any moment with its color and zing!

Directions

Step 1

Brew the Hibiscus Tea: Boil 2 cups of water and steep 2 tbsp of dried hibiscus petals (or 2 hibiscus tea bags) for 10 minutes. Strain and let cool.

Step 2

Make the Honey Lemonade Base: In a pitcher, whisk together ¼ cup fresh lemon juice and 3 tbsp honey until fully dissolved. Add 1 cup cold water and stir well.

Step 3

Combine & Chill: Pour the cooled hibiscus tea into the pitcher with the honey lemonade. Stir until beautifully blended. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Serve & Garnish: Pour over ice and top with lemon slices and a sprig of mint—or edible flowers if you’re feeling fancy!
