Description
A bright and tangy drink that feels like a mini vacation in a glass, perfect for hot afternoons.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup passion fruit pulp (from about 6 to 8 ripe passion fruit or frozen pulp, thawed)
- 1/4 cup dried hibiscus flowers
- 1 1/2 cups hot water (for steeping the hibiscus)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey, maple syrup, or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 cup cold still water or sparkling water (to dilute to taste)
- Ice (as needed)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
- Pinch of sea salt (optional but recommended)
Instructions
- Bring the water to a gentle simmer, remove from heat, and steep the dried hibiscus for 8 to 12 minutes.
- Strain the hibiscus and let it cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge.
- Slice each passion fruit around the middle and scoop the pulp into a bowl.
- In a blender, combine the chilled hibiscus tea, passion fruit pulp, sweetener of choice, and lime juice. Blend on low just to combine.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary. Pour into a pitcher with ice and top with sparkling water if desired.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
Notes
For a silkier juice, strain once more before serving. You can also freeze the concentrate in ice cube trays for a slushy treat.
