Fresh Hibiscus Tea with Culligan Filtered Water

The warmer weather has me drinking iced hibiscus tea on repeat! I make this refreshing drink with fresh, filtered Culligan water straight from my tap.

Who else is ready for spring?! The temps have (finally) been warming up around here lately, which has put me in the mood for refreshing spring salads and iced drinks.

For the past few weekends, I’ve been making a big pitcher of iced hibiscus tea to drink throughout the week. It has tart, cranberry-like flavor that I love, and it’s packed with antioxidants like vitamin C and beta-carotene. I feel especially good about drinking it because I make it with fresh, filtered Culligan water from my kitchen tap.

I’ve been a huge fan of Culligan’s water filters for years. I’ve actually installed them in multiple homes! The local Culligan teams have been amazing to work with, and I totally trust their reverse osmosis filter to reduce contaminants in my drinking water.* If you’re looking for a simple water filtration system for your home, I highly recommend Culligan’s!

My Culligan Water Filtration System

I use Culligan’s reverse osmosis drinking water filtration system, and I’m totally obsessed.

The install process starts with an in-home water test to see what issues there are with your water. It’s quick and easy—you get results in 30 minutes or less!

Based on the test results and their experience in your area, local Culligan experts recommend a filtration system that’s best suited to your home. (They have 14 filter options that are certified to reduce over 90 contaminants, including PFAS and lead!)

The look and feel of my kitchen is important to me, so I LOVE that the Culligan filter doesn’t take up space on my kitchen counter or require a special faucet.

Using Culligan’s ClearLinkâ„¢ PRO wireless accessory (pictured above), I can get fresh, filtered Culligan water from my tap with just the touch of a button!

How I Use Culligan Water

I love that my Culligan filter gives me easy access to great-tasting water. Water is central to everything we do in the kitchen! Not only can you taste the Culligan difference when you drink a glass of water, but also when you wash produce, boil water for pasta, prepare water-based broths, or make coffee or tea like my hibiscus tea.

To make the tea, I simply combine 1/4 cup dried hibiscus flowers with 4 cups cold filtered water from my tap.

I chill it for at least 20 minutes before straining and serving over ice with a sprig of fresh mint. If I have them on hand, fresh raspberries are a fun garnish too. 🙂

This hibiscus tea is such a refreshing, delicious drink for the warmer weather. Knowing that it’s made with cleaner, safer Culligan water gives me peace of mind. I feel good about drinking it on repeat!

    Do you think this could be made with the ubiquitous and invasive Rose of Sharon flowers?
