Hibiscus Whole Leaf – Whole Egyptian Hibiscus Flowers for Hot and Iced MenusHibiscus Whole Leaf, also offered as Pure Hibiscus, consists of whole hibiscus flowers from Egypt. These striking blossoms are as attractive to look at as they are popular as an herbal tea. In Egypt, hibiscus was traditionally enjoyed by the Pharaohs to help keep cool in the desert, and in Mexico it has been consumed for centuries as a hydrating drink. It is a versatile, high-demand herbal for cafes, juice bars, restaurants and retailers. Hibiscus produces an instant ruby-red infusion that is pleasantly tart, with a sour taste very similar to cranberry juice. It became well known in the West as an ingredient in many iced teas. Hibiscus is naturally high in vitamin C and antioxidants, and it has been widely studied; it may support healthy blood pressure and is traditionally valued for gentle anti-inflammatory qualities. Naturally caffeine-free, colorful and very versatile, it is a practical alternative to sports drinks that are often full of sugar, salt and additives. Its tartness balances well with sugar, honey or stevia, and it combines nicely with warm spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg. It can be served hot or brewed strong over ice in the style of agua de jamaica. Product Profile
