Dried hibiscus flowers (1-2 tablespoons) or 1 hibiscus tea bag
1 cup of boiling water
Instructions:

Steep the Hibiscus: Place the dried hibiscus flowers or a tea bag in a cup.

Pour Boiling Water: Add boiling water to the cup, covering the hibiscus.

Let It Infuse: Allow the tea to steep for about 5-10 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. The longer it steeps, the richer the color and flavor.

Strain and Enjoy: Remove the flowers or tea bag, and if desired, you can sweeten the tea with a little honey or enjoy it as is for a tart flavor.

Recommended Daily Intake: Enjoy one cup of hibiscus tea daily. It’s best consumed between meals to maximize absorption of its nutrients without interfering with iron absorption from your food.

Precautions

While hibiscus tea is safe for most people, it can affect estrogen levels, so it’s advisable for pregnant or breastfeeding women to consult their healthcare provider before starting. Additionally, because of its effect on blood pressure, individuals taking hypertension medication should also speak with a doctor to avoid potential hypotension.
