Hibiscus comes from nearly all tropical and subtropical regions. It has giant flowers and is related to a common shrub called 'Rose of Sharon', but is not the same. Once the giant flower petals fall off, the calyx (outer part of the flower) is left behind - it's the most potent part of the plant and is dried for use as tea.
Hibiscus makes a fantastic cup of tea - renowned by young and old for its tart, fruity flavour, and brilliant crimson colour. Try it iced with lemongrass for a tart and satisfying summer treat.!
