Hibiscus tea

Hibiscus seeds, flowers, leaves, and stems have been used in cuisine and traditional medicine for numerous years. Today, hibiscus-flavored jams, jellies, sauces, syrups, and teas are available all over the world.

A tart beverage known as hibiscus tea is made from the blossoms of the Hibiscus sabdariffa plant. Hibiscus extract has been found to have blood pressure and cholesterol-lowering properties, and hibiscus flowers are a rich source of polyphenol antioxidants. In comparison to drinking plain water, one research on 25 men found that taking roughly 8 ounces (250 mL) of a hibiscus extract drink daily dramatically increased blood flow, decreased blood pressure, and reduced levels of inflammation. You can buy hibiscus tea in bags or as loose leaves and drink it hot or cold.
