I love herbal iced tea in the summertime- there is nothing more refreshing! This recipe is made with hibiscus, which is full of antioxidants and offers liver support. The ginger aids in digestion and the mint is a good source of vitamin A. Add some freshly squeezed orange juice for sweetness and a little vitamin C.
