• If Hibiscus tea is unavailable, substitute with chilled green tea or water for a milder flavor.

FAQs

Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh berries work well, but adding a few ice cubes will help achieve the thick, cold texture typical of smoothies made with frozen fruit.

What if I don’t have purple cabbage?

You can substitute with green cabbage, though the color won’t be as striking. The flavor will still be delicious and nutritious.
