Ingredients

1 cup frozen strawberries

1/2 cup frozen raspberries

4 hibiscus tea ice cubes

1 1/2 cups coconut milk, beverage style

1 Tbsp. honey or agave

Juice of 1/2 lime

Instructions

  1. Start by making hibiscus tea ice cubes at least one day in advance. To make hibiscus tea, bring 2 cups of water to boil in a small pot on the stove. Once water is boiling, add 7-8 dried hibiscus flowers to the boiling water, turn off the heat, cover, and let steep for 10-12 minutes. After tea has steeped, strain into a 2-cup measuring cup, and let cool to room temperature. Once cooled, pour hibiscus tea into an ice cube tray, and place in the freezer to freeze overnight.
  2. To make the smoothie, place all ingredients in a high-speed blender, and blend until smooth.
  3. Pour into glasses and serve!

Notes:

  • 2 cups of hibiscus tea fills one standard ice cube tray, plus a little extra to enjoy right away.
