Iced Hibiscus and Lemon Pitcher (Twinings Balance)
An iced jug of tart, ruby pink Twinings Balance hibiscus, with rose, cool mint and fresh lemon. Caffeine free.
Iced hibiscus is a properly refreshing cold drink, tart and ruby pink like a Jamaica agua fresca. Twinings Balance brings that hibiscus plus a little rose and cool mint, and a squeeze of lemon sharpens it further. No caffeine.
