Hibiscus flowers
I never knew anything about hibiscus flowers or it’s recipes and nutritional values until I saw them in Dubai spice market. I bought a packet of dried hibiscus flowers to bring home and they ended up in the back of the cupboard. Once I searched recipes for hibiscus flowers online and read about its health benefits, I had a great excuse to make this natural and refreshing drink. I have planned to make this amazing refreshing Vegan Watermelon Carpaccio Salad with Tahini. Once I thought of making hibiscus sharbat, I added basil seeds aka Takmaria/Tukmaria or Sabja as these tiny but mighty seeds offers a bucketful of benefits. They act as a coolant and have a cooling effect on our bodies. I prepared a pitcher of this natural, delicious and good for you Sharbat to cool off in this sweltering heat Have you ever tried using hibiscus in your recipes? If not, I urge you to make this summer. Just find fresh hibiscus flowers or dried and make this sharbat in no time. If you want to make this drink for a get-together, make a hibiscus flower concentrate in advance, store it in the refrigerator and use it whenever you require Notes:-I have used the dried hibiscus flowers, but you can use fresh too.I have used the rose syrup to sweetened the sharbat, you can use normal sugar, honey, or maple syrup too.This sharbat can be made without basil seeds too.
