The berry and floral flavors of this sweet Hibiscus Pomegranate Iced Tea are the perfect match!
Have you ever tried hibiscus tea? Or anything made with hibiscus flowers? If not, then get ready for a real treat. Hibiscus flowers are sour and also sweet. They have an incredible berry flavor that is unique and irresistible. It also doesn’t hurt that the flowers are super pretty and make a gorgeous garnish.
You can find hibiscus tea in most grocery stores. We like to use loose leaf hibiscus tea for our recipe as it tends to be a little stronger. However, you can also use hibiscus tea bags which may be a little easier to find. Look for decaf herbal tea so you can enjoy this ice tea even before bedtime without having to worry about being up all night!

Pomegranate juice is the perfect flavor compliment to hibiscus juice. Pomegranates are often described as tasting like tart cherries. They are also sweet like grapes. The unique fruit is also loaded with health benefits. The juice is full of antioxidants and vitamin C. That means this homemade iced tea is healthy and delicious! Sounds like a non alcoholic drink that you need to try!
Make a big pitcher of our hibiscus pomegranate iced tea for your next party. Everyone is sure to love the sweet, tart taste and find each glass quite refreshing. Enjoy!
