We all know that Hibiscus flowers are tropical, beautiful and very good to look at planted in your front yard if you live in a warm climate. But these flowers are way more than just a pretty thing. They offer so much health benefits even when they're all dried.

When I was a kid, I used to pick these flowers and take the petals off for its honey in the center. I did it with caution because ants love to stay in the center for the honey. Mind you, there may be a bee who got there first before you did.

Hibiscus flowers don't stay open for more than a day. They wilt when the sun goes down.

Very Easy Hibiscus Tea Recipe

Beautiful hibiscus red tea.
  • A 1.2 oz of dried Hibiscus flower a.k.a Sorrel, Flor de Jamaica
  • About 6 cups of filtered water or fill a 1.5 quart pot halfway with water
  • Sweetener of choice (to get the health benefits of honey, it's my choice to sweeten everything)
  • A little piece of mashed ginger
  • A stick of cinnamon ( cinnamon powder can be used as well)

In a sauce pan or pot, get the filtered water ready for boiling.

Give the dried hibiscus flowers a quick rinse and put them in the water.

Add the cinnamon and ginger if using.  Bring it to a mad rolling boil and remove from heat and strain to remove the bits and pieces.

Enjoy your tea as you please, hot or ice cold.

For a hot hibiscus flower tea:
Just pour some in a cup, sweeten and enjoy.

For an ice cold tea:
Put the entire boiled tea in a pitcher and chill. When chilled, enjoy it with ice and sweeten with your favorite sweetener.

The color is a beautiful crimson red cup of goodness or deep magenta, sweet and tart like cranberries. The flavor is good as is but I wanted it a little more sweet so I added raw honey and it's perfect. 

Delicious hot or ice cold.
