A crimson herb indispensable for the maintenance of a tired body.

Hibiscus is said to have been a favorite drink of Cleopatra. The one used as herbal tea is a variety called Roselle. Even now, in Egypt where the sun is strong, this herb is drunk on a daily basis. This is because not only does the refreshing taste refresh your mood, but the citric acid helps you recover from fatigue and skin damage caused by the sun. If you are concerned about the slightly strong acidity, you can enjoy it even more deliciously by adding honey. The edible part is the calyx, not the petals. It is used both fresh and dried.
