Part of the mallow family, Malvaceae, hibiscus is related to cotton, cocoa, baobab and okra. Native to China, India, Hawaii, Fiji, Mauritius and Madagascar, it’s thought Hibiscus first originated in India, although China was the first to cultivate a range of species. In the 17th century, this flower made its way to Europe. Today, Hawaii has the closest association with this flower, being their official flower since 1923.

The petals, or calyces, are used to make jams, syrups, and hot and cold beverages. The fleshy red petals offer a tart, blackcurrant-like flavour for a citrusy tang. Hibiscus makes a great addition for bread, cakes, desserts and a host of beverages, including cocktails, juices and teas.

Hibiscus is believed to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, making it a popular herbal remedy. Thought to also have a diuretic effect, it was formerly used to treat constipation, colds and more. In oil form, it’s also believed that hibiscus offers anti-inflammatory properties, which could make it a natural candidate for soothing skin and scalp-care hair products, such as anti-dandruff shampoos and face oils.

These dried flowers are perfect for decorative use, from potpourri to natural confetti.

Occasionally used in the creation of craft beers to add a floral, fruity flavour, hibiscus is also used in gin distilling to add a distinctive colour.

Dried hibiscus flowers are ideal for decorative purposes, as well as for health and beauty products. It’s a popular addition for potpourri bowls, perfumes, and scented candles too.

FAQs

Yes, all varieties of hibiscus are edible. But if you want the variety that offers the best flavour when added to sweet and savoury dishes and hot and cold drinks, we say always go for the Hibiscus sabdariffa variety.

As with many dried herbs, it’s best to store dried hibiscus flowers at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Once opened, place in an airtight container. By storing correctly, your hibiscus should maintain its freshness up until it’s use-by date. As a general rule, the petals should last a few years, but it’s important to note the use-by date.

Whether you’re making a brew at home or creating herbal tea blends for customers, one or two heaped tablespoons of dried hibiscus per cup is all you need to craft the perfect caffeine-free brew with a tart flavour and attractive reddish, purple hue. Leave to brew in boiling water for three to 10 minutes. Sweeten with a teaspoon of sugar.
