I am a teenie weenie bit vain so when a drink promises radiant skin and anti-ageing benefits it must feature in my day!
Well , jokes apart Hibiscus flower has been used for centuries in Asia and in the Caribbean in teas and other drinks. Also used as a medicinal aid the hibiscus flower is known to have several health benefits like lowering blood pressure etc.
Vendors selling a deep red sweet iced tea called Agua Fresca (hibiscus tea) in opean air markets in Mexico is a common sight.
Hibiscus flowers contain high levels of anti-oxidants including flavanoids ....the same stuff found in red wine :))
Hibiscus flowers contain 17% more anthocyanins ( anti-oxidants) ....simply put the good stuff that makes your skin glow and helps fight ageing :))) .....than other juices!
Tastes so refreshing ........a berry like taste with slight flowery undertones ... I dont know about the health benefits but I know every time I have this I feel a spike in my energy levels ....:))))
So here it is ......
For 1 Glass you need
Petals of 2 fresh hibiscus flowers - washed
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1.5 - 2 tsp honey
Water
In the smallest attachment of your mixer add washed flower petals along with lemon juice. Leave in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
Grind with a little water till you get a beautiful concentrate all ruby red and pretty ...should look like this......
Add a glass of water .
Stir in some honey and drink to good health :))
