Hibiscus Lime Infusion

Our favorite tea is a hibiscus lime infusion with horsetail and oatstraw for added calcium building benefits.  We were so excited when we took our kids to Cafe Rio and our Hibiscus Lime drink tasted similar to theirs--but without all the processed sugar!
Hibiscus Lime Infusion

water
2 tablespoons dried hibiscus per cup
1 teaspoon dried horsehorse per cup, optional
1 teaspoon dried oatstraw per cup, optional
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice per cup
sweeten to taste with honey or apple juice concentrate

Boil water, turn off burner and add herbs to water.  Steep for 10 minutes.  Add lime juice and sweetener OR, if serving cold, cool first, then add lime juice and sweetener.  Fabulous with ice on a summer afternoon.
