Get Bubbly: Top it all off with chilled sparkling water.

Lemonade Stand Mocktail 🍋🌺
Experience a delightful twist on a summer classic! This mocktail begins with our very own Lemonade Stand Rooibos tea, a caffeine-free infusion that melds the delicate sweetness of green rooibos with organic lemongrass and hibiscus flowers for a tart flavor that rivals fresh pink lemonade . By adding a splash of real lemon juice and a beautiful, ruby-red hibiscus syrup, the tea transforms into a layered, wonderfully refreshing mocktail that’s both familiar and excitingly new.

Savoy Lemonade Stand Rooibos: 8 ounces, brewed and chilled
Hibiscus Syrup: 2-3 tablespoons
Fresh Lemon Juice: Juice from half a lemon

Let's Make It!
Brew the Tisane: First, brew the Lemonade Stand Rooibos by steeping 3 teaspoons in 8 ounces of hot water at 208°F for 7-10 minutes (it can go even longer if you'd prefer). Strain and chill it completely in the refrigerator. (Don't forget the lid!)
Combine the Mocktail: Fill a glass with ice. Pour in the chilled Lemonade Stand Rooibos Herbal Tea, the hibiscus syrup, and the fresh lemon juice.
