Hibiscus tea’s antioxidant levels are impressive, being up there on the same level as green tea.
Hibiscus significantly reduces blood pressure, as shown in this study, when consuming 3 cups per day. However, adults shouldn’t drink more than one quart daily, and children, no more than 2 cups per day due to the high levels of manganese.
I add dried orange peel granules, which are full of nutrients and vitamin C. Additionally, for an extra burst of zing and good health, add a small bit of ginger– it’s excellent for digestion, nausea, and migraines.
This fusion of flavors is a perfect mix of refreshing, along with being beneficial for your body.
