Tell me how you brew it as tea. I have a bunch of it that I haven’t tried using yet.

If you have cut and sifted or whole flowers, just pour boiling water over (??) I don’t measure, I usually make about a quart and store in fridge for a day or two as we drink it. For a quart jar, probably 1/4 c c/s or a bit more for whole flowers. I let it steep for about 6-8 minutes. I usually make a concentrate and then dilute. For one cup, maybe 1-2 teaspoons, but it’s fluffy. I also keep powdered hibiscus on hand for using in herb formulas. Tea could be made out of the powder, too.

PS - a hibiscus/lemongrass tea blend is really nice too. Good with some fruit juice added, after steeping of course, especially as a cold or cool summer drink.
