About Hibiscus Flowers Whole
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. There is lots of information about these traditions available on the internet.
