Roselle – Hibiscus Tea

Product Description

Hibiscus Tea Hibiscus (sabdariffa L.)
Hibiscus tea is a tisane or “herbal tea” consumed both hot & cold by people around the world. The drink is an infusion made from crimson or deep magenta-colored calyces (sepals) of the Hibiscus sabdariffa flower.
It is also referred to as roselle (another name for this hibiscus flower). Ruby red hibiscus shines brightly in this fruity herbal tea. Sip the pure effervescence of amazing natural red color hibiscus. Its crisp, bold juiciness stands out hot or iced & evokes the thought of a perfect summer day in the tropics! This tea is a natural diuretic & has lots of Vitamin C. Studies show hibiscus tea lowers blood pressure!

Refershing Drink Idea:
1) Put 4 cups of the water and a natural sweetener in a medium saucepan. Add cinnamon, ginger slices, and/or a few allspice berries if you would like. Heat until boiling & all has dissolved.
Remove from heat.
Stir in the dried hibiscus flowers.
2) Cover and let sit for 20 minutes. Strain into a pitcher & discard the used hibiscus flowers, ginger, cinnamon, &/or allspice. (At this point you can store ahead the concentrate, chilled, until ready to make the drink.)
3) Add remaining 4 cups of water (or if you want to chill the drink quickly, ice & water) to the concentrate & chill. Alternatively you can add ice & chilled spring water for another version. Add a little lime juice for a more       punch-like flavor. Serve with ice
4) Serve over ice with a slice of orange or lime.
