Ruby-red dried hibiscus flowers (Hibiscus sabdariffa), tart and vivid.
Traditionally used in herbalism: A tart, ruby-red flower enjoyed worldwide as a cooling tea — traditionally taken to refresh in the heat and valued for its high vitamin C and antioxidant content. A classic of Caribbean, African, and Latin American folk tradition.
A little lore: A flower of love, attraction, and divination — vivid passion in a cup.
Close to home: No — this tart hibiscus (roselle) is tropical and imported.
