Hibiscus Flowers Whole Petals Tea

Whole dried hibiscus flower petals make a lovely refreshing tea that is enjoyed in many countries around the world after originating from Africa. The petals impart a deep cherry red colour with a subtle floral flavour.

Hibiscus flower petals are used as a refreshing and traditional herbal tea. The petals impart a bright cherry red colour to hot water and provide a delicate floral taste (similar to cranberry). People often add a natural sweetener to hibiscus tea such as honey or stevia.

They can also be used in baking to add a depth of flavour, colour and decoration.

Traditionally in African countries, hibiscus tea can be enjoyed to help treat high blood pressure, reduce cholesterol and aid with digestion and weight loss.
