You can buy Hibiscus tea loose at many ethnic supermarkets too. Like if you live in California, try Vallarta or Superior.

You could always put up the Jasmine Lime Cooler for consistency...

[cmangahas]

I tried to make my own Jasmine Lime Cooler roughly following the instructions above; you can find the recipe at: http://toddlerwhoate.com/?p=21
or by searching for lime cooler at the toddlerwhoate.com

looks tasty..so does the tea }=-} A simple syrup makes making tea of any kind easier, 1cup sugar , one cup water, heat to disolve and allow to cool

I wouldn't normally go for herbal tea, let alone cold. But there's much to be said for the power of persuasion. I blame the glasses. You ever tried anything with rooibos? I would guess the vanilla would go great with vodka, but I'm too scared to try.

[ChelsKeating]

Keep in mind that this is a tea-juice drink, so you get all the sweetness of drinking lemonade with the benefits of drinking herbal tea. I love the hibiscus blend because it gives me this ridiculous burst of energy. Usually when someone asks me to describe it, I tell them that after I drink it, I feel like I can take over the world. As for the rooibos goes, it's probably in my top three iced-teas (pure chai would have to be next to rooibus and hibiscus). While I haven't tried brewing and mixing rooibus to concoct a cooer of some sort, I believe you're right that it's vanilla flavors would go fantastic with vodka...maybe brewing some up with a vanilla bean for added intensity and adding some simple syrup into the mix...?

[mistyhighs]

hey thanks for posting this recipe, how'd you come up with the concoction?! Also, where would I be able to buy the Hibiscus C Tea?

[Vulcanator]

are you from down south?

[Vulcanator]

Is Peets like a southern starbucks?

[tirwander]

I'm from the south and have never heard of a Peets... there are, sadly, Starbucks here too. The cursed death of the locally owned coffee shops with the locally roasted, fresh beans and baristas that know what they are doing... :***(

[SinAmos]

Works out for me. Let's throw a party. I'll make BBQ chicken pizza from scratch.

[tarzioo]

I think I might trying out this recipe. It looks yummy! I'll let you know how it turns out lol

[radiochemist]

word on the street is that Peet is very angry that you're telling everyone his secret recipe and has dispatched his tea goons to find you!

[Vulcanator]

WHO IS PEET?

[theoxygenkiosk]

Peet is dead...

[radiochemist]

maybe thats just what he wants you to think. peet is currently enjoying a hibiscus breeze tea cooler somewhere the people say "y'all" a lot.

[NatureTM]

Your mom and your sister are hot Peet.

[shady180]

You're wearing my Grandma's glasses! She's been looking for them for three days, now!

[VALDUCCI]

I think I'm sad to say that I've never had a "PEET'S" before but I'll be tryin' it out soon. What I would really like is the pattern fer that thar snazzy apern yer a'wearin"! Is that a possibility? Hmmmm?

[ChelsKeating]

If only! my housemate actually found that at a garage sale for 50 cents, trust me, if I only had a pattern, we'd have a hundred different colors of them!

[goodgnus]

"And I'm looooosing, control!" I remember watching Disney animated music videos when I was a kid and that was one of the songs. I love Hibiscus/Rosehip hot tea so this should be quite enjoyable. Thanks for the inside scoop!

[colettei]

I am so happy to see some Peet's loving! I've been working at Peet's for a couple years now and it is an incredibly awesome place! I wanted to mention to the dude with the question about getting the Hibiscus C, we also sell it in bulk loose leaf at the stores, it really changes the flavor of the tisane if it's not ground up for bag-size. Also, if I might mention the ratio is a little off, we make it 64 ounces of liquid to half a cup of sugar. I don't have the recipe right in front of me, but as coffee-tea specialist at my store, if anyone refuses to give out this recipe, they have absolutely no reason to do so. It's a favorite all around and we love to share our wonderful drinks! I bet yours tastes awesome though, thank you for sharing!

[MechEngineerMike]

Where do you get Hibiscus C tea? I like how you said y'all 5 times in this instructable, and very nice overly acted photos, haha.

[ChelsKeating]

You can get the tea in bags at any Peet's Coffee and Tea store, or online at peets.com. You can either cut the tea-bags open (you'll probably need about 10 bags or so) or just steep the bags for longer than 5 minutes, and make the rest of the cooler according to the posted steps.

It might be a good idea to rotate your pictures before you upload them. Makes it a bit easier to figure out whats happening in the picture. :D

thanks for the feedback...done, and done!
