Dried Hibiscus Calyxes are made by drying fresh hibiscus calyxes. These dried calyxes retains the original sour taste of Hibiscus. Just add 3 - 5 dried calyxes into 200ml of hot water and let the substance in the calyxes dissolve for 3 - 5 minutes into a crimson colored brew, add sugar and ice cubes as you like to make a wonderful cup of chilled hibiscus iced tea.

Hibiscus tea provides many health benefits. Here are a few of them:

1. It reduces blood pressure

2. It improves cholesterol levels and lowers triglycerides

3. It helps maintain healthy weight (or lose weight)

4. It's rich in Vitamin C 

Hibiscus tea is a good source of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), a vitamin which your body needs to grow and repair tissues in the body.

5. It's a diuretic and mild laxative

Hibiscus tea has both diuretic and laxative properties. If you suffer from minor digestive issues such as bloating or gas, drinking hibiscus tea may alleviate these symptoms. Moreover, drinking the tea may help reduce water retention which will make you look less "puffy".

6. It's high in electrolytes

Every time you work out, your body loses electrolytes (such as sodium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphate) through sweat. You need electrolytes to regulate your body's fluids, maintain a healthy blood pH balance and send electrical signals which are essential for numerous body functions.

Enjoy your tea time,

Enjoy your tea life.

If you want to use hibiscus tea to treat your health problems, you should still talk with your doctor first because hibiscus tea may interact with some drugs, some people also experience some side effects.
