Equipment

  • 1 Tea Kettle or Infuser

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp Dried Hibiscus
  • 1 tbsp Dried Nettle Leaf
  • 1/8 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice 2-3 lemons
  • 1-4 tbsp honey to taste
  • Lemon slices and ice for serving

Instructions
 

  • Steep the herbs. Bring 1 cup of water to a near-boil. Remove from heat and add hibiscus and nettle. Cover and steep for 5 minutes (or longer for stronger flavor). You can use either a tea kettle or an infuser for this.
  • Strain & sweeten. Strain the tea into a pitcher or quart jar. While still warm, stir in sweetener of choice (start small—you can always add more later). This helps it melt into the drink. Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes.
  • Add lemon & water. Squeeze lemons into fresh glass over ice. Then add the tea infusion. Give it a quick stir and taste test—adjust if needed. Sprinkle salt on top.
  • Chill & serve. Serve over ice with lemon slices or a sprig of mint. Store leftovers in the fridge and enjoy within 3 days.
