Hibiscus Flower Tea
Hibiscus tea has been traditionally used to support healthy blood pressure, improve digestion, and reduce inflammation. However, people with low blood pressure or those on diuretic medication should avoid it due to its natural blood-pressure-lowering effect. Pregnant women should also consult their healthcare provider before consuming hibiscus tea.

Hibiscus flower tea is a deliciously tangy and vibrant herbal tea made from dried hibiscus flowers and hot water. Known for its rich ruby-red color and tart cranberry-like flavor, hibiscus tea is not only refreshing but also packed with health benefits. This simple and easy-to-make tea can be enjoyed both hot and cold, making it a versatile addition to your wellness routine.
Ingredients
1
half gram Dried Hibiscus Flowers
240 ml Hot water
Tips
For a cool twist, you can refrigerate the tea after it cools and serve it with ice. It's a great refreshing drink during warm weather.
You can enhance the flavor of your hibiscus tea by adding other herbs like mint or ginger for a spicy, aromatic twist.
Hibiscus tea is naturally tart, so you may want to sweeten it to your preference. Experiment with different sweeteners like stevia, agave, or maple syrup.
Directions
Measure about 1.5 grams of dried hibiscus flowers. You can use a teaspoon to approximate the amount.
Boil 250 ml of water. Once the water has reached a rolling boil, remove it from the heat.
Place the dried hibiscus flowers in a cup or teapot. Pour the hot water over the flowers, covering them completely. Let it steep for about 5-7 minutes to allow the flowers to release their color and flavor.
Once steeped, strain the flowers from the liquid using a fine mesh strainer or tea infuser.
If you prefer a sweeter taste, stir in a teaspoon of honey or your preferred sweetener.
Your hibiscus flower tea is ready to enjoy! Drink it hot or let it cool for an iced version.
Notes
While hibiscus tea is beneficial for many, it may not be suitable for everyone.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication for high blood pressure or blood sugar, it’s best to consult with your healthcare provider before drinking hibiscus tea.
It may interact with certain medications and can affect estrogen levels, so it’s important to check with a medical professional first.
