Step What to Do Safety Note Tasty Tip
1 Brew 1 cup strong hibiscus tea (or use cold-brew concentrate) Choose unsweetened, organic when possible Add a squeeze of lime for extra zing
2 Scoop flesh of ½ ripe avocado Wash hands & knife; avoid pit Hass variety blends smoothest
3 Add 3–4 whole cloves or ⅛ tsp ground Start low—clove is potent Toast lightly for deeper flavor
4 Blend with ½ cup cold water & ice Blend until silky Sweeten lightly with date if desired
5 Sip slowly, ideally before 11 a.m. Consult your doctor first, especially if on blood-pressure meds Pair with a handful of almonds
Worried it’ll taste strange? The avocado smoothes the tartness, clove adds mystery, and the color alone lifts your mood. Think grown-up strawberry milk—only far better for you.
