I have a lot of fun making drinks.ย  I think it’s because they don’t take a lot of time to make and sometimes I get bored of plain old water or iced tea.ย  There are so many different versions of coffee, water, tea, and cocktails that you can make so I figure why not try as many as I can?ย  Usually I just grab a single cup or glass and go from there but this time I did things a little differently.

I recently received the GROSCHE Rio Sangria Pitcher & Water Infuser Carafe.ย  This thing is beautiful.ย  It is a hand-blown glass carafe that holds 1 liter of liquid and is great for infusing water, making sangria, or adding flavor to any cold beverage.ย  I thought it would be fun to make a beverage that I could share at book club because the carafe is perfect for setting on a table and allowing guests to serve themselves.

It's easy to make delicious Strawberry Hibiscus Iced Tea

So I decided I wanted to make a flavored iced tea.ย  I’m big in to flavored teas because the possibilities are endless.ย  What I don’t like is going to a restaurant, ordering a flavored tea, and having it taste like candy because of the amount of sugar in the beverage.ย  There is no need for iced tea to be that sweet.ย ย  I like to add a little bit of honey so that it is lightly sweetened but it lets the natural flavor of the fruits really shine through.

The tea I made was a Strawberry Hibiscus Iced Tea.ย ย  I used hibiscus tea mixed with strawberries, lemon, mint, and honey.ย  Those are the only ingredients and it looked so pretty all mixed up in the carafe!ย ย  It was a pretty deep red color but had the red strawberries, yellow lemons, and flecks of green mint floating in it.

Refreshing Strawberry Hibiscus Iced Tea is perfect for brunch!

I poured the tea over glasses of ice and then served them with a slice or two of lemon and strawberries on the side.ย  I like doing that better because the fruit that sits in the tea gets really soggy and I like my fruit to look good when serving it in a beverage.ย  It would be easy enough to just put out a bowl of lemon and strawberry slices along side the carafe so guests can serve themselves.
