Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup dried hibiscus flowers
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks or frozen
  • 1 banana sliced
  • 1 cup coconut milk or any milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes optional, for a colder smoothie

Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the dried hibiscus flowers and reduce the heat. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it steep for an additional 10 minutes. Strain the liquid into a bowl, discarding the flowers, and let it cool.
  2. In a blender, combine the cooled hibiscus tea, fresh pineapple chunks, banana, coconut milk, honey or agave syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
  3. Blend on high until smooth. If you prefer a colder smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or agave syrup.
  5. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
