We’ve got a special treat for our American friends this 4th of July, a red, white, and blue infused sweet tea that will have you feeling patriotic in no time. This infused hibiscus sweet tea recipe is refreshing, with just the right amount of zing. It may not contain alcohol, but trust us - this summer treat will definitely elevate your Independence Day.

Instructions


Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan, remove from heat. Steep the tea bags in the pot for 10-15 minutes. Remove tea bags, stir in infused honey, cover, and chill overnight.

Combine chilled tea in a pitcher with sparkling water, lime, frozen blueberries, ice cubes, and a couple of mint leaves. Serve in mason jars for a truly grammable experience. 

Tip: If you don’t want the elevated head high of a cannabis infused drink, you can substitute an infused CBD honey. 


Ingredients

  • 8 hibiscus tea bags

  • 4 cups water

  • 3 cups sparkling water

  • ½ cup cannabis infused honey

  • 1 lime, sliced

  • ½ cup frozen blueberries

  • Mint leaves (optional)
