Here is a recipe of one of our favorite tea blends:
Hibiscus Sun Tea
1/3 c hibiscus
1/4 c lemon balm
2 tbsp orange peel
3 tbsp rose
Add to a mason jar. Fill the jar with filtered water. Let sit in the sun for 3-4 hours. Bring inside and let come back to room temperature before refrigerating. Sweeten as desired. Serve over ice. So refreshing!
