How to Make Peach Hibiscus Sunset Tea
Ingredients
- 1 cup hibiscus tea (steeped and chilled)
- 1 cup peach tea or peach juice (chilled)
- 1-2 tbsp honey, sugar, or hibiscus syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes

Directions

- Slowly pour the next layer (peach/hibiscus) over the back of a spoon or over ice to create the layered “sunset” effect.
