Brewing Twinings Balance (Hibiscus, Rose and Peppermint)
How to brew Twinings Balance: just boiled water and a good steep for a tart hibiscus cup with rose and cool mint.
Twinings Balance is a caffeine free herbal led by hibiscus, which brings a bright, almost cranberry like tartness. A delicate rose sits behind it and a cool peppermint finishes the cup. Give it a five minute steep in just boiled water to draw out the colour and the rose.
