Badia Flor De Jamaican (Hibiscus Flowers), 8 Ounce, 12 Per Case

Badia Flor De Jamaican brings you dried hibiscus flowers prized for their bold, tangy flavor and deep ruby-red infusion. These pliable jamaica flowers are selected for freshness — when hibiscus flowers are soft and pliable, they deliver a more flavorful, aromatic brew than hard, brittle alternatives. Each 8 ounce package supplies a generous amount of flowers for regular brewing.

Practical Uses

• Brew a soothing hot or iced hibiscus tea
• Infuse into lemonade, fruit punch, or cocktails for a tart, crimson twist

Serving Ideas
