It's National Iced Tea Month........

Heather of Hezzi D's Books and Cooks invited us to join her in sharing Iced Tea Recipes in honor of June being National Iced Tea month.  I think Iced Tea is delicious all year long but especially during the hot summer months.  So darn refreshing!!

Obviously many others agree with me.  Check out these other delicious Iced Tea recipes for National Iced Tea Month:

• Chamomile Arnold Palmer from The Beard and The Baker
• Cucumber Mint Iced Tea from Our Good Life
• Hibiscus Iced Tea Margarita from A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Jasmine and Spruce Tip Tea from Palatable Pastime
• Magical Color-Changing Iced Tisane from Culinary Adventures with Camilla
• Minty Blueberry Iced Tea from Cindy's Recipes and Writings
• Sparkling Hibiscus Iced Tea from Blogghetti
• Sparkling Peach Iced Tea from Hezzi-D's Books and Cooks

  The recipe I made for you today was inspired by an Agua de Jamaica that I made for a FoodnFlix event.   This recipe for Hibiscus Iced Tea was made with a concentrate that I not only used for the iced tea but also used to make a simple syrup that turned into this Martini that I serve up for another FoodnFlix event.

This simple syrup has since become a staple in my refrigerator.  Not only because it makes wonderful iced tea and iced tea based drinks but because when you order hibiscus flowers on Amazon they send you a big ol' honkin' bag of it.  LOL

I have also used these hibiscus flowers in a sweet bread with happy results.  But mostly I use it to make refreshing drinks to serve up to my family and friends when they visit.  The most popular of which is this Hibiscus Iced Tea Margarita.

So order yourself up some dried Hibiscus Flowers and make up some simple syrup.  You will have delicious Iced Tea and Iced Tea based drinks all summer long.  Cheers........
