About this herb
Hibiscus is a long-loved botanical valued for its bold color and refreshing, tangy flavor. It's a popular base for iced teas and blends beautifully with other dried herbs and fruit — the deep red color it releases is one of the most vivid of any tea botanical, making it a favorite for layered or ombre-style iced drinks. Some people also use the dried petals in craft and ritual work for their color, or alongside pieces from our balance and wellness collection.
How to use it
Steep about a teaspoon of dried hibiscus in hot water for 5–7 minutes for a tart, ruby-red tea; sweeten to taste or serve over ice. Combine with lemon balm, hibiscus pairs well with other fruity or floral herbs, or use the petals in potpourri and craft projects.
Care & storage
Keep the dried flowers in a sealed container away from heat, light, and moisture to preserve color and flavor.
