Hibiscus Flower Whole

Throughout the Caribbean, where Hibiscus is commonly referred to as sorrel, the flowers are used to produce a syrup that is used to make alcoholic concoctions involving rum and various warm seasonings such as cinnamon, cloves or bay leaf.

The large, showy blooms are a vibrant color on the stem and retain their color when dried. Alone or in combination with other dried herbs, flowers and spices, hibiscus flowers make colorful and flavorful teas.
