1 cup (medium) of Berry Hibiscus Drink (240 g) has 53 calories. That works out to 22 calories per 100 g. It contains 12.7 g of carbs, 0.2 g of protein, 0.2 g of fat and 1 g of fiber. Its 7.7 mg of Vitamin C covers 9% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 40 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Berry Hibiscus Drink brings together the tart, floral infusion of hibiscus with the fruity flavour of berries. There is no single fixed recipe: the kinds and amounts of fruit can vary, as can whether the drink is sweetened.
Served chilled over ice, it is refreshing, with hibiscus’s tang balanced by the berries’ fruitiness. It works as a cold drink alongside a light lunch or an afternoon snack, and can also be served warm if you prefer a more tea-like sip. At 22 calories per 100 g, it is a relatively light choice. If making it at home, adjust any added sweetener to taste; a little lemon can complement the tart, berry notes.

A berry hibiscus drink is usually tart, fruity, and lightly floral. Hibiscus gives it a tangy edge, while the berries add fruit flavor; how sweet it tastes depends on the recipe.
Usually, no. A berry hibiscus drink made with hibiscus and berries has no caffeine, but versions made with black or green tea do. The added tea, rather than the hibiscus, is the source of caffeine.
Steep hibiscus, let it cool, then mix it with berries and water to make a berry hibiscus drink. Serve it over ice or warm it for a hot version; add sweetener only if you want to balance the tartness.
A berry hibiscus drink can be a refreshing choice, especially when it is not heavily sweetened. Hibiscus and berries contain plant compounds, but the drink should not be treated as a cure or as a substitute for varied foods.
Yes, a berry hibiscus drink can be served hot as well as chilled. Steep the hibiscus and berries in hot water, then strain or leave the fruit in; add ice only for a cold serving.
Not necessarily; the sugar in a berry hibiscus drink depends on whether sweetener or sweetened juice is added. Homemade versions are easy to adjust, while prepared recipes can vary considerably in sweetness.
Yes, frozen berries work well in a berry hibiscus drink. Add them while the hibiscus infusion cools, or use them instead of ice; they soften as they thaw and contribute fruit flavor.
Ask your prenatal care provider before drinking a berry hibiscus drink regularly during pregnancy. Hibiscus preparations may not be appropriate for everyone, and the amount of hibiscus and any other ingredients can vary between recipes.
A berry hibiscus drink without added black or green tea is generally caffeine-free, so it is less likely to disrupt sleep through caffeine. Check whether the recipe includes tea if you are sensitive to caffeine.
Yes, a berry hibiscus drink contributes fluid, so it can count toward hydration. It is a refreshing alternative to plain water, though a heavily sweetened version is better treated as a sweet drink rather than your main source of fluids.
