Tazo Passion Herbal Tea, a delightful blend of hibiscus, orange peel, rose hips, and passion fruit, offers a tropical twist for tea enthusiasts. This tea aligns well with the Daily Dozen recommendation of five servings of beverages daily, particularly for those fond of hibiscus flavors. Hibiscus is not just a refreshing choice but also a health-conscious one, especially for individuals managing diabetes and high blood fat levels.
Research highlights the benefits of hibiscus in combating low-grade inflammation, anxiety, and mild depression. Its antioxidant properties are crucial in reducing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. Hibiscus tea’s roots can be traced back to Nigeria, where it’s traditionally used to cool the body in hot climates. Lauren Manaker, MS, RDN, LD, a registered dietitian, suggests preparing a large batch of this tea and refrigerating it for daily consumption.
To enjoy hibiscus tea in a different way, try making hibiscus margaritas. Combine cooled hibiscus tea concentrate with ice, lime juice, tequila, and optionally, agave nectar in a cocktail shaker. Shake well to mix. This unique blend offers a flavorful and healthful twist to your usual margarita.
