Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup hibiscus tea, brewed and cooled
- 1/2 cup tequila
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup agave syrup
- 2 cups ice
- Salt for rimming glasses
Instructions
- Begin by brewing 1 cup of hibiscus tea. Use dried hibiscus flowers or a hibiscus tea bag. Boil water and steep the hibiscus for about 5-10 minutes. Once brewed, remove the flowers or tea bag and allow the tea to cool to room temperature, or refrigerate to speed up the cooling process.
- While the tea is cooling, prepare your glasses. Take two serving glasses and moisten the rims with a lime wedge. Dip the rims into a plate of salt to create a salted rim, which will enhance the flavor of the margarita.
- In a blender, combine the cooled hibiscus tea, 1/2 cup of tequila, 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice, and 1/4 cup of agave syrup. The agave syrup will add sweetness and balance the tartness of the lime juice and hibiscus tea.
- Add 2 cups of ice to the blender. Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and slushy. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more hibiscus tea or water to achieve your desired consistency.
- Taste the margarita mixture and adjust the sweetness or tartness if necessary. You can add more agave syrup for sweetness or more lime juice for tartness, depending on your preference.
- Once blended to your liking, pour the frozen hibiscus margarita into the prepared glasses, filling them to the rim.
- Garnish with a slice of lime or a few edible flowers for a beautiful presentation, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Wes Ricks Completely Original Frozen Hibiscus Margarita!
