Hibiscus-Rose Water Beverage (No Alcohol)

Submitted by COOKGIRl

"From a local source. The original recipe is much more elaborate involving fresh lemongrass and steaming fresh rose petals. I made it easier for myself by substituting rose water and tubed lemongrass puree. Please feel free to adjust the proportions to your liking."

Delicious! I didn't have lemongrass puree so made lemongrass tea along with the hibiscus. Thanks! Made by a Looney Spoon Phoodie for ZWT#6.

Wow, is this good CG. I knew that I would love it, what, with hibiscus, lemonade and lemongrass in it. I was so right. This lovely recipe does not disappoint. So much flavorful. It was quick and easy to make and tastes great. I added more rose water because I really enjoy the flavor that it gives to the hibiscus tea. I also used a Hibiscus and Rosehip tea blend ( it is my favorite) and wildflower honey as I am out of Agave nectar. Thank you so much for sharing. Made for Beverage Anyone Tag Game 2015.

Fantastic beverage! I happened to have everything on hand except the lemongrass puree, so I used dried lemongrass which I brewed with the hibiscus tea. The addition of rose water is just perfect! Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT6 Asia.
