We can also safely say that excess soda consumption can flood the body with toxins, contribute to diabetes, and cause dehydration. Now, this recipe is a treat and should be treated as such. Drinking this healthy, paleo red soda is not the same as drinking water. This is actually a great transitional beverage for those who finish cleansing and want to drink soda without feeling terrible.

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. dried hibiscus petals
- 1 tbsp. rosehips
- 1 tbsp. dried licorice root
- 1 tbsp. dried pineapple
- frozen berries (raspberries are best)

Instructions
- Add all of the dried ingredients to a spice grinder, coffee grinder, or high-speed blender and pulse to yield a fine powder. Add one teaspoon of this powdered mixture to an empty teabag. You should be able to fill 10 teabags with one teaspoon of the powdered mixture.
- When it's time to make the red soda, add about 1/2 cup frozen raspberries to the glass, along with one tea bag, and fill with sparkling water.
- Occasionally, press the teabag against the side of the glass to help infuse the herbs and more color to the soda. Sweeten with liquid stevia if you choose and serve immediately.
