I discovered hibiscus tea when vacationing in Mexico. Love it! Now we make it a point to buy the large (pitcher sized) tea bags when shopping at Soriana at the beginning of our stay.

We discovered it works well as a “sun tea” also - leaving bags in a large glass jar/pitcher in the sun. But probably boiling it garners more beneficial elements than passive sun tea methods.

Yes, and the flowers can often be found in the bulk section of Latino grocery stores. I think when steeping as a sun tea, you can go by the color to get the most flavonoids out of the flowers--dark, dark pink!
