This light and refreshing beverage is perfect for a hot summer’s day. The lemony hibiscus flavour from the tea and the crispness from the soda is a great combination. Best part is this drink is easy and simple to make!

Sweetening Alternatives
HONEY: If you want to use honey instead of brown sugar – add 1.5 tsp of honey to the tea and stir until combined before pouring it over ice
