I enjoy hot hibiscus tea in the winter and cold in the summer. It helps to cool and relax the body while providing nourishing vitamins and potent antioxidants. As a royalty tea for ancient Egyptians along the Nile Valley, hibiscus can help prevent oxidative stress caused by UV light, though they did not knew that. They just enjoyed the taste. And so will you.
