Hibiscus does the heavy lifting, turning the cup a deep, rich purple before the lemon gets a word in. This tisane blends lemon and hibiscus into something thick-bodied and citrus-forward: sharp lemony taste, a strong citrus aroma, fruitiness that lingers. It reads as an afternoon cup, bright enough to wake the palate, since hibiscus and lemon carry no caffeine. Steep in boiling water eight to ten minutes to let the colour and flavour develop.
