The Frozen Berries and the Tea
This frozen triple berry blend is the best for smoothies, berry pies, and this syrup of course. It's full of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. An antioxidant power house!
The triple berry syrup I make doubles as the sweetener and flavor enhancer for iced tea. The berry syrup can also be used on pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or whipped into cream cheese for a tasty spread.
For the hibiscus tea, use anything you like. I go for a loose leaf hibiscus tea for maximum flavor. There are so many options though for hibiscus tea, so use whatever brand you like.
Here are the tea bag and loose leaf hibiscus tea links for your shopping pleasure.

Modifications
I actually prefer my drinks to be lightly sweetened, so I only use a half cup of granulated sugar. For a true sweet tea, use a full cup of sugar.
You can substitute the triple berry blend for strawberries or cherries if you prefer those flavors. Another fun twist on flavor would be using mango. My son loves mango.
