HIBISCUS FLOWER TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Rinse the dried hibiscus flowers under running water for 2-3 minutes, until the water turns from deep magenta to light pink.
• In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Boil the drained hibiscus for 10 minutes, until tender. Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let stand for 2 hours.

Stir until the flavors have melded, about 5 minutes.
