Ginger Hibiscus Margarita
This Ginger Hibiscus Margarita is a cool cocktail that's worth the effort. Tart hibiscus tea pairs perfectly with the spicy ginger, sweet agave, and bright lime juice. Blanco tequila kicks things up a bit, while the triple sec tones it down. This drink is tart, sweet, spicy, and so delicious!
Servings: 1 drink

- 3 oz hibiscus tea See note

For the Hibiscus Sugar:

Notes
For the hibiscus tea:
- In a small saucepan, boil 1 cup water (feel free to double, triple, or QUADRUPLE this recipe!).
- Once water simmers, remove from heat and add 2 tea bags. Ratio for tea to water should always be 2:1 for what the box actually says. Read: 1 cup water to 2 tea bags.
- Allow to cool, transfer to a glass jar, refrigerate until ready to use.
