1 cup hibiscus flowers

10 dates pitted

Instructions

Let's Begin!

Add water to the MIN line of the base.
Add hibiscus to the filter basket. Attach the filter basket to the top, and the top to the base.
Press the cow button, and when the light stops flashing, remove the contents of the filter basket and add lemon and dates.
Run the machine again, and when the light stops flashing, your hibiscus lemonade is ready!
If you follow this recipe, it's going to be acidic and fresh. If you want to taste like a lemonade, you can add maple syrup or cane sugar.

Notes

Soft dates blend best: If your dates are firm, soak them in warm water for 5 to 10 minutes first.

Peel the lemons: Removing the white pith keeps the lemonade from tasting bitter.

Sweeten to taste: Add more dates, maple syrup, or honey if you like it sweeter.

Storage: Refrigerate in a sealed jar for up to 3 days and shake before serving.
