Notes
Brew the hibiscus tea strong — use two tea bags per cup of water for the boldest flavor.
Always add sparkling water last and stir gently to keep the fizz alive.
Cool the hibiscus tea completely before mixing or it will wilt the fresh strawberry flavor.
This drink looks stunning in clear glasses — the deep ruby color is the star of the show.
Make the strawberry hibiscus base ahead and store in the fridge for up to 2 days — add sparkling water only when serving.
