Instructions

TO MAKE THE HIBISCUS TEA:

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the water and bring to a boil for 1-2 minutes. Remove the water from heat and add the tea bags and let them steep for 5-6 minutes. Once fully steeped, remove tea bags and let cool completely. Stir in the honey.

TO MAKE THE MOCKTAILS:

In a bowl, add the hibiscus tea and lemon juice, stirring together until combined. Add in a handful of blackberries (about ½ cup) and mull everything together until blackberries are fully broken down.
ASSEMBLY: Add crushed ice to glass(es), Add the hibiscus mocktail mixture (along with mulled blackberries) until ½ filled followed by lemon soda, fresh blackberries, and strawberries. For additional garnish, add fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired. Repeat for every serving.
Sip and Enjoy!

Notes

SWEETENER: Instead of honey, you can substitute with Agave, pure maple syrup or organic cane sugar as a syrup (add to boiled hibiscus tea over the stove top).
