# Ingredients:

→ Core Ingredients

01 - 1 cup brewed hibiscus tea, cooled (from 2-3 tea bags or loose flowers)
02 - 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
03 - 1 cup coconut water
04 - Juice of 1 lime
05 - Ice cubes

→ Garnish

06 - Fresh sage or mint leaves (optional)

# 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.
