| Hello all, I was just wondering...
Can ALL hibiscus flowers be used for Hibsicus tea? or are there preferred kinds? Thank you for your responses!

| I was wondering that too. I have several types of hibiscus, don't know what type, but would like to know. Anyone? |
|
| Yeah, anyone? Just bumping up the thread. We haven't gotten any responses yet, SharBear! And to add to that... how do you process the flowers? Just dry them? They don't form hips, right? like Rose hips? G'Doc |

| i have eaten tropical hibiscus so don't see why it could not be used in a tea. the most common tea is from the roselle. the only one i know not to eat is the turks cap. i have also made tea with the leaves of the red sheild /cranberry hibiscus |
