Hibiscus "Sudan Rose" is made of dried hibiscus calyces, which brew into a bright ruby drink with a sweet-and-sour taste. The infusion is enjoyed both hot and cold, and it looks beautiful in a glass teapot or a pitcher of water.
This variety is listed in our catalog as "Hibiscus 2." It is well suited to homemade lemonades, fruit blends, and as a caffeine-free drink on its own. The infusion is a deep red, and its tartness recalls berries, cranberry, and red currant.
