When the summer heat rolls in, there’s nothing more refreshing than a tall, icy glass of herbal tea. Here at Moji Herbals, I believe staying cool should also mean nourishing your body — which is why I love reaching for caffeine-free botanicals that hydrate and refresh without the afternoon jitters.
Herbs like hibiscus, lemongrass, and rooibos are summer superstars. Hibiscus brings a tart, cranberry-like brightness (and a gorgeous ruby color), lemongrass adds a citrusy lift, and rooibos rounds it all out with a smooth, naturally sweet earthiness. Together, they make a glass that’s as beautiful as it is refreshing.
Hibiscus + Lemongrass Cooling Summer Iced Tea
You’ll need:
- 1 part hibiscus flowers
- 1 part lemongrass
- 1 part rooibos
- 1 stevia leaf (or sweetener of your choice)
- Plenty of ice
How to make it:
- Combine the hibiscus, lemongrass, rooibos, and stevia leaf in a teapot or pitcher.
- Pour over hot water and let steep for 5–7 minutes.
- Strain, then let cool to room temperature.
- Fill a glass with ice, pour, and enjoy!
Tip: Make a big batch and keep it chilled in the fridge for a ready-to-pour refresher all week long. Garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of fresh mint for an extra-cooling touch.
Here’s to a cool, calm, and naturally refreshing summer. 🌺
