Hibiscus Tea – Roselle: Refreshing drink with rich tradition

Hibiscus tea, also known as “mallow tea,” “karkadeh,” or “bissap,” is a refreshing drink with a long history and versatile uses. This tea is made from the calyces of the Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa), a plant known for its bright red calyces and purple stems.

Uses and Benefits

• Versatile Use:

  The intensely red calyx of the Roselle gives hibiscus tea its distinctive taste and pleasant acidity. It is especially popular in Sudanese and Egyptian cuisine, where it is traditionally served as a refreshing cold or hot drink.

• Culinary Versatility:

  The dried calyces are also used in desserts, lemonades, jams, and liqueurs. In Trinidad and Tobago, they are often cooked down and used as a base for syrup.

• Rich Tradition:

  In many African countries, hibiscus tea is appreciated under various names and is often served cold with sugar as a national drink.

Taste and Preparation

• Tart and Refreshing:

  The taste of hibiscus tea is refreshing and slightly tart, characterized by natural carboxylic acids such as malic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, and hibiscus acid.

• Colorful Experience:

  When brewed, it produces a bright red color, making the tea a visual highlight.

• Easy Preparation:

  Steep 5–6 dried calyces in hot water and sweeten with honey or sugar to taste.

Health Benefits

• Immune System Support:

  Hibiscus tea contains vitamin C and anthocyanins, which have antioxidant properties and can support the immune system.

• Helpful for High Blood Pressure:

  Studies suggest that regular consumption of hibiscus tea can help regulate blood pressure.

Discover the world of hibiscus tea and be enchanted by its exotic flavor and potential health benefits. Perfect for a little break or as a special treat in the evening.
