Hibiscus
Tea, also known as zobo drink, is a popular beverage in many parts of the world
and is frequently used medicinally.
The hibiscus
plant, which is ruby red in color, is used to make the tea.
There is
numerous hibiscus plant species found all throughout the world, including
Africa. Roselle is the most frequent kind used in zobo drinks in Nigeria and
around the world. Aside from Africa, hibiscus rosa-Sinensis is said to have a
variety of medicinal purposes in Indian Ayurveda.
Hibiscus tea
is created by steeping dry hibiscus/zobo leaves in boiling water, and it can
be served hot or cold. It has a sour taste and a flavor similar to cranberry
juice, hence it is known as sour tea.
In The Caribbean, a hibiscus cocktail called sorrel is produced by combining hibiscus
brew with ginger, sugar, and rum. However, anyone looking to obtain any health
benefits from hibiscus tea should avoid adding anything with bad nutritional
effects to the cup, such as sugar or alcohol.
The taste of Zobo drink is pleasant, and the health advantages may be extensive. Hibiscus tea offers a long range of possible benefits, including regulating high blood pressure, decreasing cholesterol and preserving the liver, as well as relieving menstruation cramps and functioning as an antidepressant.
