Caffeine free herb and fruit tea - what could be better! The hibiscus adds a tart dimension to the blend which makes it very refreshing. The currants give the tea a fruity and tangy character, while still imparting a natural sweetness.

Hibiscus which has traditionally been associated with ‘grace and beauty’ is a plant that is native to Africa. The calyces, which form the outer protective covering of the flowers buds are dried and used to make a rosy, citrus-flavored tea. Currants are also very popular and have been used in infusions for centuries. It has even been recorded that in Siberia that a similar drink is made of the leaves which can make common spirits taste like expensive brandy.

For a terrific hot drink garnish with a cinnamon stick and a slice of orange and instead of using white sugar try brown sugar. The cinnamon gives a lovely spice hint and the orange brightens up the berry character. For a summer time drink Berry Berry Bust that is iced is hard to beat. It is refreshing and thirst quenching and not overly sweet.

For formal times, garnish the glass with a strawberry and a sprig of mint - for non-formal times pour it into your glass and enjoy it gulp after gulp! For your young children - get popsicle forms and freeze lightly and sweeten the Berry Berry Bust tea. By virtue of the fact that this drink does not contain any tea (from the camellia sinensis plant) and is a special blend of fruits and herbs – it is caffeine free! An additional benefit is this ‘tea’ contains Vitamin C, E and K. What could be better - a health drink that tastes GREAT!
