Berry Hibiscus Punch - Vegan recipe hero image

Every summer, my friends and I gather for a picnic, and this Berry Hibiscus Punch has become a staple.

It’s so refreshing on a hot day!

I remember the first time I made it; I was experimenting with dried hibiscus flowers, and the result was this stunning, ruby-red drink that everyone raved about.

It’s a simple recipe that always brings smiles and laughter to our gatherings.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Dried hibiscus flowers are the star here, giving that gorgeous color and tart flavor. If you can't find them, you could substitute with a berry herbal tea, but it won't have the same zing. Maple syrup is my go-to sweetener, but agave or even a bit of stevia can work, too.

Tips & Notes

  • •I love to keep a batch in the fridge for hot days; it’s so refreshing!
  • •Try using different berries based on what's in season to mix things up.

Recipe Variations

  • •Sometimes I’ll add a splash of orange juice for a citrus twist.
  • •You could also infuse it with a sprig of mint for an extra layer of flavor.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just remember to add more sparkling water if you like it fizzy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can make the hibiscus base a day in advance and just add the sparkling water right before serving.

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

  2. 2

    Once boiling, add the dried hibiscus flowers and reduce heat to a simmer. Let it brew for about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    After 10 minutes, remove from heat and strain the hibiscus tea into a large pitcher, discarding the flowers.

  4. 4

    Add the mixed berries, maple syrup, and lemon juice to the pitcher. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently mash the berries, releasing their juices.

  5. 5

    Let the mixture cool down to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors meld.

  6. 6

    Just before serving, add the sparkling water for a fizzy touch. Stir gently to combine.

  7. 7

    Serve over ice, garnished with fresh berries or a lemon slice if you like!
