To make a tea, pour boiling water over 1–2 tablespoons of the flowers and strain after 5–10 minutes.
The flowers contain gossypetin and anthocyanins, including hibiscin.
Hibiscus not only makes a delicious beverage, but contains a high concentration of flavonoids. This beautiful plant was first used in Upper Egypt and has only grown in popularity for its color and flavor that it adds to a variety of drinks and teas.
