  May 18, 2018 Saffron Flavours   No comments
Learn how to make hibiscus tea which has some amazing benefits. Make this with either fresh or dried flowers and choose to have it as a hot cup of tea or as hibiscus iced tea because either way it’s delicious and really good for you!




Hibiscus tea has a fruity taste and slightly tart in taste, so in case you are not a fan of tart taste you can always add some honey or sweetener of your choice. 





INGREDIENTS
  • 2 cups water
  • 6-8 dried hibiscus flowers or 2-3 fresh hibiscus flowers
  • 1 tbspn lemon juice
  • Sweetener of your choice
      METHOD
  • Heat up the water to a boil.
  • Switch off the heat, add in hibiscus flower (remove the stamens first),  and allow the flower to steep for 5-6 minutes. Strain and add honey or your preferred sweetener.Add lemon juice and the colour of the tea turns into  bright red. Serve hot or chilled.

Steeped floral tea recipes are current favorites for health conscious people these days. Hibiscus tea not only tastes good but it is good for the health. Hibiscus flower is rich in antioxidants and Vitamins like VitaminA, Vitamin C and Vitamin B1 and Iron. Rich in flavonoid glycosides which gives it a deep ruby red color. It helps in lowering of blood pressure and and hibiscus is a great remedy for menstrual cramps. It is also help in people with Metabolic syndrome.
