Rhubarb & Hibiscus Refresher for Skin Support

First, make the hibiscus tea: steep 2-3 hibiscus tea bags or 1/4 heaping cup dried hibiscus in 2 cups hot water for 5-7 minutes. Let it cool while you prepare the syrup. 

Next, make the rhubarb syrup: add 1 cup chopped rhubarb (fresh or frozen), 1/2 cup water, 1/3 cup honey (add more to taste if desired), and vanilla from 1/2 a vanilla bean pod or 1/2 tsp extract to a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the rhubarb is soft and broken down. Blend until smooth and pour into a jar; there's no need to strain it. This syrup recipe makes about 5 servings. 

Finally, assemble the refresher: in a large mason jar, combine 2-3 tablespoons of the rhubarb syrup, 1 ounce of fresh lemon or lime juice, lots of ice, the chilled hibiscus tea, and a big handful of fresh mint.
