Hibiscus Flowers Whole Petals 500g (Buy Whole Foods Online Ltd.)

Received the item today and was impressed by the size of the pack. Seems so much larger than the picture suggests. I didn't buy the item to drink but as it was here, I thought I'd give it a try. It was pleasant to the taste and is very good for you (reminds me a bit of Rose-Hip) but do please consult your doctor first before using if you have existing underlying medical conditions...especially hypertension. Definitely worth it.

Good price, arrived promptly.If you are looking for a less expensive way to do confetti like I was DON'T try hibiscus. They are incredibly dense and heavy and fell to the ground like a brick LOL. Fortunately they are excellent quality petals and produce a very strong tea. I'm also experimenting with infused vodka and will be making syrup as soon as I get the chance.

I made a local drink out of this product which was well received by a wide audience. Only snag, which is not the seller's fault is the product had a lot of sand. This was unexpected and it added a level of difficulty in the drink preparation. Otherwise it got top marks for flavour, value for money and presentation. I advise the seller to speak to their supplier or packaging team to improve on packaging environment.Everyone who tasted the drink came back for more. That could be down to the way I prepared it too. Pat on my back.

2 x cups Hibiscus flowers 4 x cups water 3/4 cup sugar. Boil in a saucepan for 15 mins, let it cool to room temp add a further 4 x cups water. Either pop in fridge or drink warm.Tastes great. I did use a muslin cloth to strain it tho as its a bit sandy as it is grows in gritty soil. Great for bringing down blood pressure. I am not a Dr so read up for yourself

I drink hibiscus tea all the time. Its flavour is a fruity tangy taste, and it is chock full of healthy reasons to drink it. Supposed to lower blood pressure, good for kidneys, full of vit C etc. etc.This is about the cheapest way to buy the stuff, and is the same whole dried calyces that I learned to love years ago in Honduras. I break them down into smaller pieces with a blender to make them a more usable quickly infusing tea. Buying the ready processed product costs orders of magnitude more. If you only want an occasional cup then the other forms may be OK, but if you drink a lot, then this is the type to buy.

I love the flavour and teste , its sweet and sour I would say, similar to cranberry juice, you can drink as hot and cold , delicious . Great substitute for red wine !!

This bag goes a very long way. We haven't finished it yet. Use about 5 petals for a mug of tea and 3 to 4 for a cup of tea. Add a bit of sugar or honey if you like it sweet or as is. It's a bit like cranberry juice. It's also good as a hair rinse. However, it can give you highlights. As a hair rinse use about 10 petals and make a tea. You can store the rest in the freezer for another day.I also gave it to our teens as a drink. It's nice served hot or as a cold drink. It is best sweetened as a cold drink. It makes a refreshing drink on a hot day.It is said to increase blood flow so I would avoid it if you're pregnant or trying for a baby.

Overall, a fairly good quality and value for money. However, I get the feeling that these petals needs a good wash. I use it to make a drink and I strain properly before consuming.
