Hibiscus tea is made by brewing the hibiscus flower. It’s known for various health benefits. Hibiscus tea is a refreshing red drink that’s great hot or cold.
I could have been making this all summer!??? What? So glad I found this vid. My plants are still blooming. I can't wait to make. Thank you for sharing. I want to make tea and syrup. Fantastic!.
This is a fascinating process. Thanks for the demonstration! I will try this.
That is very beautiful.
❤thank you so
Much for sharing this video. I tried drying hibiscus one before and I believe that the mistake I made was letting the leaves touch each other. I will watch all of your videos from now on.
Thank you so much. 🦋

Great video..my next project 🌴
This is an amazing plant it comes back year after year. It’s in full bloom in my garden now. 🦋
I had no idea i coukd dry these for tea!
You absolutely can have you price some of the hibiscus teas at the supermarket lately?
@@jazzybutterflygarden no I havnt but I have a big beautiful hibiscus blooming all over right now.
Thank you for the wonderful video. Do you know if anything can be used as a substitute for the Cuisinart? Like maybe the oven, or a small toaster oven or something?
Before I purchased my Cuisinart I definitely use my oven at its lowest temperature; which is 200°F it takes a little longer, but it work. Each oven may vary in temperature so you may have to test it out before you get the correct setting. I tray my blooms on a nonstick cookie sheet. 🦋
@@jazzybutterflygarden Sounds great. I will certainly try that. Thank you so much, keep up the amazing work!
My dehydrator is due to arrive today! I'm searching out the items I want to have in my pantry and I found this channel. What I've been doing for a while now is laying my items on a tea towel, covering with another one, and laying them on my heating pad (when it's not on my back!).🙂
I also use this for my yogurt, covering the tops with nylon stockings, wrapping a folded bath towel to conserve the warmth. My heating pad has a shut off time of two hours. By the end of the day it's ready to be refrigerated. As an addition, I put a coffee filter inside a nylon mesh strainer over a deep bowl, cover that with another coffee filter, place a cottage cheese lid on top of that, weight that down with a bowl of water, and refrigerate. Initially, a lot of whey will come out that can be re-used in many ways. Now I have Greek Style yogurt. Continue that until ALL of the moisture is out and I now have Cream Cheese.
Thank you for your presentation. Now I need to ask if my neighbors put pesticides on the hybiscus plants. God bless you for sharing! 🙏
@@karlene4061, I totally understand the use of the heating pad after my fall garden cleanup I too had to use my heating pad. Thank you for sharing your creative ideas.🦋
Can the petals be dried naturally after they've been washed? Perhaps on a wire rack in doors or daily in the sun? I live in the tropics. Also, does the color matter?
My concern would be will the leaves completely dry before they mold? I don’t have a answer for that question. It may take weeks depending on your climate. Give it a try and let me know if it works.
Could you dry the leaves in a low heat oven?
Great question! Yes, you can dry your leaves in a low temperature oven. It may take longer, but it’s just as effective.🦋
@@jazzybutterflygarden Thank you. 🌺
Do you cut flowers from stem as soon as they bloom?
Great question! The hibiscus flowers only last a day. Although new hybrids last longer than the older varieties. In most case the hibiscus flower opens in the early morning and then wilt by the evening. Remove the spent flowers as they finish blooming. The hibiscus looks more attractive when the wilted blooms have been removed.
@@jazzybutterflygarden oh my gosh! Thank you so much
Are you using tropical hibiscus or zonal hibiscus
I purchased perennial hibiscus, which are hardy in zone 4-9. It’s one of the proven winners; summerific. I don’t quite remember, but I believe it’s “Holy Grail”.🦋
Great video, where’d you purchase your spinner from?
This is one of many favorite items that I purchased over the years from pampered chef.
How do you know which hibiscus you can make tea from
I use the hibiscus flowers from my own garden, which has no pesticides.
How long did you dehydrate them?
Great question! It depends on the humidity in the air, but most days if I use a medium setting it will dry in four hours
How long YOU dried yours for. How many hrs it took YOU.
how do you know when it’s done dehydrating?
Each dehydrator are designed differently. If your flower is completely dehydrated it should crumble in your hand. 🦋
@@jazzybutterflygarden thank you
Thank you you’re delightful
I read it was mainly the calyces that were used for hibiscus tea but it looks like you threw those out ? Confused
No need to be confused both are full of antioxidants; just a matter of preference.
Are they perennial hibiscus 🌺
Yes they are Herbaceous.
what type of hibiscus is that??
These hibiscus was purchased 5 years ago. This is a selection by Proven Winners.🌼
Does it taste good?
It’s the best summer flavor.
How long can it stay Dry
So most of my hibiscus that I dried was good for the whole season. It took me through the winter months, and most of the spring season and by the way, I don’t drink tea every morning but I do have a hot beverage. So if completely dehydrated, and stored in an airtight container you shouldn’t have any problems with it going bad. 🦋
Whose watcing this video because they gonna smoke it?? 🙋🏾♂️🙋🏾♂️🙋🏾♂️
LOL. I’m not going to smoke it, but it gives off a wonderful smell in a bowl of potpourri 🙂
😂😂😂😂

It doesn’t matter if you use the fresh bloom from the flower or dehydrate your blooms they both have an amazing flavor.
