Mexgrim Hibiscus Flowers Dried Flor de Jamaica 1.2 lb Bulk Bag — Resealable, Sifted Petals for Tea & Culinary Use

Mexgrim Hibiscus Flowers are a 1.2 lb (19 oz) resealable bulk bag of all-natural dried flor de jamaica, ready for brewing hot or iced tea and for culinary uses.

Hand-packed by a family-run small business in South Texas, this 1.2 lb bag of dried hibiscus petals is sifted for a cleaner brew and stored in a resealable pouch to preserve color and aroma. The petals produce a vivid red infusion with a bright, tangy flavor that works equally well steeped as a hot tisane or chilled as the classic Mexican agua de jamaica. No additives or artificial colors are included—just pure hibiscus flowers suited for loose-leaf tea, tea bags you fill yourself, and a wide range of food and beverage applications.

How do I use these hibiscus flowers to make hot or iced tea?

Making hibiscus tea is simple and adaptable: steep 1–2 tablespoons of dried petals in hot water for 5–10 minutes, then strain. Sweeten or spice the infusion to taste—common additions include sugar, honey, cinnamon, or fresh ginger. For iced tea, double the steeping strength, cool, then pour over ice for a refreshing chilled drink.

• Recommended steep: 1–2 tbsp petals per 8 oz hot water
• Steep time: 5–10 minutes for full color and flavor
• Serve hot or double-strength then chill for iced beverages
• Pairings: cinnamon, ginger, citrus, or sweeteners

What culinary and cocktail uses suit dried flor de jamaica?

The tart, aromatic petals add vivid color and tang to syrups, jams, cocktails, and desserts. Infuse the petals into simple syrup for cocktails or mocktails, fold them into jams for a floral-acid balance, or steep then reduce into sauces for glazes and dressings. Use as a natural food coloring or a fragrant garnish to elevate presentation.

• Hibiscus simple syrup for cocktails and beverages
• Infused jams, compotes, or fruit preserves
• Sauces, glazes, and vinaigrettes with floral acidity

How is this product packaged and stored to keep freshness?

Store the pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain flavor and hue for months.
