Herbal tea koolaid! That is definitely what this tastes like. I made it hot and then iced it, and I made sure to add sugar given the hibiscus and rosehips. Still pretty tart, but since I’m not with any other kind of sweetener right now, it’ll have to do this way.
I like rose so the rosehips’ floral quality in here isn’t too bothersome. But it does taste more like I’m drinking a rosehip/hibiscus tea first and foremost with some cherry notes to it rather than something meant to be cherry flavored.
On the plus side, it doesn’t taste like cough syrup. I’d take this over cough syrup any day of the week. It’s actually quite tolerable for me for being based on hibiscus.
Thanks, Kittenna for the sample!
I have since gifted the rest of this to my roommate. Not my cuppa tea!
