Frontier Co-op Organic Hibiscus Flowers, 16 Ounce, Sun Dried Bright Red Color, Fruity Flavor, Non Irradiated, Non ETO, KosherUSDA Organic

Makes a great ice tea for the summer months. It's healthier (no added sugar OR fake flavorings) than the typical 'cola' drinks, and I usually add a few drops of stevia liquid. I sometimes make it 'concentrated' and add ice and carbonated water. In the winter, it's just as refreshing as a hot tea, and I sometimes make it mixed with rooibos tea. This brand is very good, and I not hesitate to buy it again.

Package arrived rather quickly, shipped via Amazon Prime. You get a lot of product (bright red in color), and great value for your hard-earned money.HOW DID I USE IT:I boiled 8 cups of water in a medium-sized pot, poured/added 2 cups of Hibiscus Flowers and some blended Ginger to boiling water. (Note: I Used Vitamix blender to blend Ginger very well, but any blender of choice, is good). covered pot with lid, I lowered flame to Low, and let ingredients seep for around 8-10 mins. After that, remove from heat and let stand overnight to be cool off, so I can extract every ounce of goodness from it. Next day, I hand-squeezed the flowers, strained it only once with a perfect strainer I purchased right here on Amazon, added a dash of sweetener of my choice. I placed deep red drink in Mason Jars, and put in fridge to get that cool refreshing, mellow goodness. All I can say is YUM, YUM, Yum--shut the front door!TART Versus NON-TART:Though some may not like its tartness, it's definitely not an issue for me. In fact, if it's not tart I feel like it's not doing much in terms of health benefits, of course. Because if I simply pour hot water on it and let it sit for only 5 minutes, for me it tastes like water with color added to it, and that's not how I like it.--that's just my opinion. That being explained, just do whatever works for you.SUMMARYThis is exactly as described. It is thoroughly sifted and very clean. I had no issue with debris, hair-like strings or sticks, or any trace of foreign object included in this package/product. This made a delicious, scrumptious, mellow, drink.

I highly, most definitely recommend it to those who may be considering future purchase.IMPORTANT NOTEPlease always note carefully, that I'm not a doctor, I'm just a consumer of this product who've tried it and absolutely loved it.

I bought this because of my blood pressure. I would rather drink a delicious tea than to take medication that makes me feel worse. I love the taste. It has a twang to it which I like. The smell is amazing. I love that its organic. I didn't keep it in the sealed bag but put it in a larger lidded container so it was easier to use. The health benefits from this is so much better than meds for blood pressure. The size of the bag was large and this tea will last me a long time.

I cold brew hibiscus and this product is some of the best I have experienced. Brew for 24-48 hours at room temp, taste is exceptional, and lasts in the fridge for 2 weeks+ (I also add ACV which aids shelf life). Price is reasonable compared to local options.

According to many sources, this is a very nutritious tea and loaded with anti-oxidants. It does have a powerful tangy taste and can pair wonderfully with a date when brewed and served hot. It can also give you many cups of tea. If brewing in the infusers that is inserted into cup, you will get progressively less darker brew and less intense flavor with each cup you brew, otherwise it is best o brew it in a teapot in larger amounts.It can also be brewed and served cold for a delicious refreshing drink in summer and/or mixed in with carbonated water for a fantastic fizzy drink. Here is how to brew it for cold serve:INGREDIENTS> 1 Cup Dried Hibiscus Flowers> Orange Or Lime Slices For Garnish> 3/4 To 1 Cup Sugar. Sub for honey or other sweetener. This will counter the tangy flavor.> 1/2 Cinnamon Stick (A Must) or Powder Equivalent> A Few Thin Slices Ginger or Powder Equivalent> Black Pepper or White Pepper> 2 Quarts Water> Lime Juice (Optional)METHODPut 4 cups of the water and the sugar in a medium saucepan. Add cinnamon, ginger slices, etc if you would like. Don't bring to a violent boil. On a medium heat let all the flavor to infuse and the teapot to brew for 20-30 minutes.Steep with dried hibiscus flowers:Remove from heat. Stir in the dried hibiscus flowers. Cover and let sit for 20 minutes.Strain:Strain into a pitcher and discard (compost or dump in your garden) the used hibiscus flowers, ginger, cinnamon.At this point you can store ahead the concentrate, chilled, until ready to make the drink.Chill and serve with ice or mix into fizzy water and it makes a super nice drink to go with lunch, dinner or standalone.Add a little lime juice for a more punch-like flavor.
