Like Girl Scout cookies, Light Bistro’s house-brewed iced hibiscus tea is crave-worthy because of its fleeting appearance, staying only as long as our warm weather. Chef Matthew Mathlage discovered the drink in Jamaica. “It was a really hot day, and it was the most refreshing thing I’ve ever had.” The plant’s lemony-limey flavor is known to show up elsewhere on the menu, including as a salmon marinade. Keep your eyes peeled. Like all the best things, it won’t last long. 2801 Bridge Ave., Cleveland, 216-771-7130, lightbistro.com
