Product Review

Description of Roselle:

· Highly antioxidant, it is popular in other countries where it's used to lower blood pressure.

· A red dye is used from the calyces, and a cranberry like jelly can be made that already contains 3% pectin.

· Makes an excellent red, cranberry flavored tea than can be sweetened and is delicious.

· Boil a few cups of water in a pan and just after it starts bubbling, shut the heat off and throw in a handful of just picked Roselle calyces. (The fleshy outer part after removing the inside seed pod)

· Let this mixture sit on the hot stove for 5-10 minutes until the calyx are nearly transparent. After the liquid has cooled enough to drink, add raw, natural, local honey and stir.

· We drink this warm as a healing tea at the end of the day but it can be served cold with ice as well. The leftover softened calyx when sweetened a little with honey makes an excellent treat!
