Reviews
Isn’t the Red Zinger tea a hibiscus tea? I know Celestial Seasonings makes one and it shouldn’t be too hard to find…
I couldn’t find the tea either so I used 2 green tea and 2 herbal tea with rose hips. It was amazing. LOVE LOVE LOVE THE NEELYS!!!!!!!
I was not able to locate hibisus tea, so I used regular tea and truly enjoyed this recipe. Very refreshing!
I have made something like this before, but without the hibiscus and it is quite good. If you can’t find it at your grocery store, itis usually in health Food Stores.
I am from the south and cannot locate Hibiscus tea..went to Whole Foods that has tons of tea. No luck. If you find it, please let me know and I’ll be happy to rate the recipe!
