Hibiscus flowers (Hibiscus sabdariffa)

I love to add Hibiscus flowers to tea blends for their sweet, tropical taste and the beautiful deep pink color they add.

High in Vitamin C complex. Makes a bright, tart tea which is said to aid in weight loss by blocking the conversion of carbohydrates to fat.  When drunk regularly, it may lower blood pressure.  High in vitamin C & delicious.  Use as a wash to soothe weeping eczema.  Also used as a natural dye

Hibiscus flowers are the main ingredient in many wonderfully refreshing teas made around the world, especially in Mexico, Latin America, and North Africa. A tea known as Agua de Jamaica, or simply Jamaica in Mexico, is usually served chilled with copious amounts of sugar to sweeten the natural tartness of the hibiscus.

2 oz cut, dried flowers.
