Optional: a few leaves of fresh mint or sage
# Instructions:
01 -
Make some hibiscus tea by steeping 2-3 tea bags (or dried flowers) in hot water for 5-10 minutes. Pop it in the fridge to chill until fully cold.
02 -
Throw the cold hibiscus tea, pineapple pieces, coconut water, lime juice, and ice into a blender. Blend it all up until it's creamy and has a light, bubbly texture.
03 -
Give it a sip. If it isn't sweet enough, toss in a bit more pineapple. Want some extra tang? Add another dash of lime juice.
04 -
Transfer your colorful smoothie into some glasses. Pop on a few fresh mint or sage leaves as a final touch if you'd like.
# Notes:
01 -
Packed with tropical vibes, this drink blends tangy hibiscus, juicy pineapple, and light coconut water into one flavorful sip.
02 -
Using frozen pineapple makes it thicker and a little like a slushy, but fresh works fine too.
