The Hibiscus genus comprises over 300 species of annuals, perennials, shrubs, and trees. A typical erect annual herb grows to 5-8 feet tall, featuring lobed leaves and white or yellow flowers with dark centers. The fleshy red sepals are surrounded by a row of bracts. Leaves are alternate, measuring 5-10 cm in length, with reddish veins and variable petiole lengths. Young seedlings and upper leaves on mature plants have simple shapes, while lower leaves are deeply lobed (3-7 lobes) with toothed margins. Flowers appear singly in the leaf axils, reaching up to 10 cm in width. They display a range of colors, including yellow, buff, rose, or maroon, often turning pink as they age. As flowers wilt at the end of the day, the red calyx expands and becomes fleshy, enclosing a green capsule (1-2 cm long) containing seeds. The calyx consists of five large sepals with 8-10 pointed bracts around its base. The velvety capsule splits open when mature and dry, revealing kidney-shaped seeds (2-4 mm long). The plant's calyx, stems, and leaves are acidic, sharing a flavor profile similar to cranberries. Seeds can be directly sown into fields or grown from transplanted seedlings or cuttings.

In Africa and Latin America, tea and cold drinks made from hibiscus are widely consumed. The plant's seeds are eaten roasted or ground into a meal, while its leaves and shoots can be eaten raw or cooked as a vegetable or used to add flavor to herbal teas. However, the main use of hibiscus is as a natural food coloring and sweet-sour flavoring in tea. In some countries, the leaves are prepared by steaming them with onions and groundnuts, while in others they're dried and used like a green leafy vegetable. The seeds can be roasted or ground into a powder and added to dishes such as oily soups and sauces. Hibiscus is also grown commercially for its fiber, which is used to make jute products like clothing, linen, fishing nets, and ropes.

How to use:

Hot Infusion:

To prepare dried herbs or flowers, place 2-3 tablespoons in a cup or teapot. Pour hot water over them, cover with a lid, and let steep for 10-30 minutes. This process extracts the active compounds, including antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, flavonoids, and volatile oils from the botanicals. Strain and press out as much liquid as possible before enjoying.

Tips:

• Herbal teas can be sweetened using alternatives such as honey, natural fruit juice, stevia leaf powder, or licorice root powder.
• Freeze tea in ice trays or pop molds to create ice cubes or pops.

Precautions: 

Before using this herbal product, consult a qualified healthcare professional, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.
