Drink ideas

For a party drink, simmer the hibiscus flower with cinnamon and orange peel, cool it, and serve over ice with sparkling water. You can also reuse the soft, steeped petals in salads, tacos and chutneys, as they have a pleasant, slightly tangy flavor.

Storage

Store it in a tightly closed jar, in a cool, dry place away from light, heat and humidity, so it keeps its aroma and color. As a natural product, color and aroma may vary slightly from batch to batch. For a stronger drink, steep it longer or use more flowers. If you take medication or have low blood pressure, ask your doctor before drinking it regularly.
