About Hibiscus:

Hibiscus is a flower native to Asia and the Pacific Islands. There are thousands of subvarieties with different colors. Some have blossoms just two inches in diameter, while others are ten to twelve inches. Hibiscus can take the form of a small bush that takes several years to grow even a foot, while other varieties may grow up to 15 feet if left undisturbed in the ground.

Hibiscus tea can be made from both the flowers and the calyces of some hibiscus varieties. The calyx (a collection of flower sepals) turns into a fruit with an edible, fleshy red exterior after the flower’s petals have fallen.

Hibiscus makes a delicious iced tea in the hot summer months. It is great on its own or when blended with other herbs. Check out our guide to cold brewing here.
