Things us busy cowgirls need!
How to make the tea from dried hibiscus flowers…
- Put 1 cup of flowers in a container
- Cover with hot, boiling water
- Let steep 5-10 minutes depending how strong you like it
- Strain the tea out of the flowers
- Add sweetener, if you’d like, while it is still hot. Honey is awesome in hibiscus tea!
- Add filtered water to make up to a gallon.
- Add ice in a portable container and take it along with you to drink as you work at the barn!
Easier still buy Hibiscus Tea Bags at the grocery store and make your tea that way!
Tastes a little “fruity” and not like black tea so even if you don’t like tea, you will dig this!
Taking care of yourself is easy when you plan ahead, so on the way to the feed store, make a stop at the farmer’s market or health food store and remember to take care of you!!!
Put it in your planner and make it a part of your daily “Blisstuals”.
You are at your best when you feel your best.
Do you have any ideas for easy, healthy refreshment?
