The hibiscus flower is edible and can be eaten cooked, raw, pickled, as a spice, or even as a food dye. However, despite the nice floral fragrance, hibiscus tea has a somewhat sour taste which, I believe, some people do enjoy. As for me, my sweet tooth tempts me to add sweeteners like maple syrup which is still sugar and not ideal. I could use stevia but I am absolutely not a fan of the latter for its aspartame-like aftertaste. Instead, from my previous concoctions of adding herbal infusions to my smoothies, like in this Apricot Elderflower Refresher Smoothie<\/a> or this Warm Spiced Tea Strawberry-Banana Smoothie<\/a>, I’ve decided to turn this floral wonder into a Superflower berry-licious beverage. You can sieve out all the flowers but I decided to add half of the soaked flowers to the smoothie. This is what gave it this intense rich red colour you see in the picture!<\/p>\n

Hibiscus Tea should be available in health stores or in Middle Eastern stores. I get mine online<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n
