Roselle, afrikanische Malve (Hibiscus sabdariffa)

The tea is drunk in our house without added sugar.

Hibiscus sabdariffa can help with a variety of ailments, because the medicinal plant has the following effects:

purifying,

laxative,

thirst-quenching,

antispasmodic,

antibacterial,

antihypertensive,

antitumor,

immunostimulant,

hematopoietic,

blood sugar lowering

and gallbladder stimulating.

The flowers of Hibiscus sabdariffa contain a lot of valuable vitamin C and dissolve mucus when processed as a tea, help with a cold and are said to act against depressive moods.

To make hibiscus tea yourself, you need a good handful of hibiscus flowers for one cup of tea. Pour boiling water over them and let them steep for six to eight minutes – no longer, otherwise the hibiscus tea will be too bitter! The contained citric, malic and tartaric acids give the tea a fruity and sour taste. The healthy and delicious tea tastes both cold and warm.
