If you like a tea may be you have tried Hibiscus tea or Carcadè with its soft and slightly acidulous taste.

Now the Hibiscus is blooming in my garden.

So let me introduce it to you :D

I love hibiscus tea, especially iced! By the way, your garden really has everything. It's probably as big as a national park and you live in a castle!

have you tried boiling it with seaweed?
it would turn into a very yummy pink jelly
course, you will have to add honey or sugar
or pineapple chunks to make it tastier, a lot of stirring till it thickens
that's what we used to do when we were in elementary
your post reminds me of those days
thanks!

Hibiscus tea
Hibiscus tea is a herbal tea made as an infusion from crimson or deep magenta-coloured calyces (sepals) of the roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) flower. It is consumed both hot and cold.
It has a tart, cranberry-like flavour, and sugar or honey is often added to sweeten it. The tea contains vitamin C and minerals and is used traditionally as a mild medicine.

I also found it interesting to read in Wikipedia about hibiscus. It's strange that I did not think about it.
Especially since I asked a question about how to make tea from it.
After reading, I had a question: and who has high acidity (I do not have it), can they drink such tea?
Because write in Wikipedia:
"Hibiscus tea contains 15-30% organic acids, including citric acid, malic acid, and tartaric acid."
Your link was useful for me, thank you from me.
