Hibiscus and Ginger Iced Tea

If any drink was made for leisurely back-porch sipping, it’s iced tea. Our version is brewed from zesty hibiscus tea, which is made from coppery-red hibiscus leaves and is naturally caffeine free. Ginger syrup and fresh lemon juice add layers of flavor.

Ingredients                                                                          
1  tablespoon thinly sliced peeled fresh ginger    
3/4  cup sugar    
4  hibiscus tea bags    
2  tablespoons fresh lemon juice 
Lemon wedges, for garnishing

Directions 
1. Put 4 cups water, ginger, and sugar into a medium saucepan. 
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has 
dissolved. Remove from heat; add 4 hibiscus tea bags. Cover, 
and let steep 15 minutes. 

2. Pour through a fine sieve into a bowl set in an ice-water bath. Let cool. Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. Serve over crushed ice, and garnish with lemon wedges.  Serves 8
