For a spicy and comforting blend (about 500 ml, or 2 cups):
10 to 14 g dried hibiscus flowers (2 tablespoons),
500 ml boiling water,
1 cinnamon stick,
2 cloves,
1 bay leaf,
1 thin lemon slice (optional).
Pour the water over the ingredients, cover, and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain before serving. This fragrant and enveloping blend is especially appreciated when you're seeking warmth and comfort.
Little things make a difference
: like any natural beverage, hibiscus tea is part of a balanced diet: a varied diet, adequate hydration, exercise, and rest. It doesn't replace anything, but it complements a lot. One to two cups (250 ml each) per day are enough to fully enjoy the benefits.
