If you wish to drink your tea the “Royal" way, then you should consider the Hibiscus tea as an alternative to your tea. This tea which was the favorite of the pharaohs of Egypt and Sudan is prepared from the petals of the tropical Hibiscus sabdariffa flower. The flower is available world-wide but is commercially grown in the fields of Sudan. The tea is bright red in color and has a sour, tart taste along with a cranberry like flavor.

Alexis Florin –
This red tea simply takes your breath away. Later I found that they were dried petals of the hibiscus flower. Not sure whether I should call it tea, but it is very rich in taste and flavor. It works as a great sweet and cold beverage if infused with honey and a tinge of line to it. You can actually give it to your children for the summer days. It feels refreshing and is very cooling on the system.
