Hibiscus Tea

Hibiscus tea is an herbal tea made by infusing the dried petals of the hibiscus flower in hot water. The resulting drink is bright red in colour and has a tart, cranberry-like flavour. This beverage is enjoyed both hot and cold and is known for its high vitamin C content. Hibiscus tea is consumed worldwide and is especially popular in North Africa and Central America. 
 
At Remedy, we use brew big pots of hibiscus tea to add a natural pink/red colour to our bevvies. There's no use of artificial colours here!
