# Instructions:
01 -
Start by brewing your hibiscus tea - steep 2-3 tea bags or loose hibiscus flowers in boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Let it cool completely in the refrigerator before using.
02 -
In your blender, combine the chilled hibiscus tea, pineapple chunks, coconut water, fresh lime juice, and a generous handful of ice cubes. Blend on high speed until everything is smooth and frothy.
03 -
Give your smoothie a taste test. Need it sweeter? Add a bit more pineapple. Want more zing? A splash more lime juice will do the trick.
04 -
Pour your vibrant smoothie into glasses and top with fresh sage or mint leaves for an extra pop of color and flavor.
# Notes:
01 -
This tropical smoothie combines the tart flavor of hibiscus with sweet pineapple and refreshing coconut water for a perfectly balanced drink.
02 -
You can use either fresh or frozen pineapple - frozen will give you a thicker, more slushy-like consistency.
