A Hibiscus flower that you can make into tea is also edible. I had no idea!! I saw them at Trader Joes and they kinda taste like a fruit roll up. The one from Trader Joes has cane sugar in it so I just use the flowers to make tea then I let them dry out a bit and we eat them for snacks. Without sugar they are a little tart but just as I said in another post about the tea they are full of Vitamin C, it controls high blood pressure, helps with digestive problems,
and improves circulatory disorders. So it’s a good healthy little snack.

I’ve found a new drink that I love, love, love!

It’s a Hibiscus flower tea or Jamaica (pronounced hi-MIke-ah) tea.

It kinda tastes like cranberry juice, but I just love that I can buy the dried flowers and make something so healthy for my family and I.

I’m sure there are many ways that you can make this but the way I do it is I get about two

handfuls of the dried flowers and add them to boiling water then when the juice is nice and

red I scoop it out into a pitcher, I add more water to the pan and keep doing this until my

pitcher is full (I like mine kinda strong) then I add 3/4 of a cup of sugar, mix it up and serve with ice.

This is great for the long, HOT, summers here in Vegas!

This drink has Vitamin C, controls high blood pressure, helps with digestive problems,
