Frontier Co-op® Bulk Hibiscus Flowers (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) are hand picked and sun dried for natural red color and fruity flavor. The tropical plant is used to make a wellness tea, as an ingredient in cosmetics and as a natural dye. The beautiful, deep red and purplish-hued dried flowers lend an attractive red color to teas that have it as an ingredient. Naturally caffeine-free, tart and colorful, hibiscus tea is delightful on its own (hot or cold, sweetened or not) or as the basis of a wellness herbal tea blend. It combines especially well with green or black teas and with other herbs such as peppermint, rosehips, spearmint, linden leaf and lemongrass.
Product color and size may vary by lot due to varying growing conditions.
To prepare as a tea, pour 8 oz. boiling water over 1 tsp. of herb. Cover and steep 3-5 minutes, strain and serve immediately.
Suggested Uses
Make a hot or cold tea, alone or blended with other herbs. Also try it mixed with a juice (such as cranberry), lemonade or sparkling water for a refreshing spritzer. Add to potpourris and decorative jars for gorgeous, deep color.
