KAMPALA | LIFESTYLE UGANDA — Does hibiscus tea have caffeine? The answer may surprise you. This tart herbal beverage is actually derived from the crimson calyces of the roselle flower. 

Its flavor is tart and cranberry-like, and can be consumed hot or cold. Here’s more information. 

Hibiscus tea contains caffeine. It’s a mild stimulant that can be used to boost energy levels and reduce fatigue.

The extract from the hibiscus flower contains substances that are known to reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

Because of this, hibiscus is best suited for those who need a boost in these areas. However, if you’re suffering from diabetes, this tea may not be for you. It could damage your liver. 

Some people are sensitive to caffeine, so it may not be right for you.

Hibiscus tea is not only delicious – it’s loaded with nutrients! The anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, and antibacterial properties of this tea make it a valuable beverage for people looking for natural ways to improve their health. 

Its unique flavor and aroma are also worth noting. Hibiscus tea is a great way to help you get a good night’s sleep. If you’re wondering whether it has caffeine, here’s what you need to know.

Hibiscus tea is made from dried hibiscus flowers, so it has no caffeine. Its color is deep magenta, which gives it a tart cranberry-like flavor.

Hibiscus tea has caffeine-free benefits, but it can also be addictive! You’ll find it difficult to stop drinking it. Just save these recipes to your Pinterest board! You’ll be surprised by their addictive power.

To make hibiscus tea at home, add a few tablespoons of dried berries. Steep the buds in hot water for two minutes or so. 

Increase the time for steeping for a more intense flavor. You can serve this beverage hot, cold, or iced. In addition, you can add some honey or other sweeteners to enhance its taste. Hibiscus tea is delicious hot or cold.

Hibiscus tea can be very soothing and invigorating. If you’re looking to avoid caffeine and calorie-laden beverages, hibiscus tea is a good choice. 

Unlike sodas, hibiscus tea won’t break your fast. You can even drink hibiscus tea during the fasting period! This drink can be paired with any meal! It’s naturally caffeine-free.

A recent study in the Bastyr Center for Natural Health looked at 70 hypertensive people. The patients who drank hibiscus tea had lower blood pressure. 

Researchers attributed this effect to the antioxidants in hibiscus. 

Additional clinical studies are needed to establish whether hibiscus tea can lower blood sugar levels. You’ll want to avoid drinking this tea if you’re taking a prescription diuretic.

The caffeine content in hibiscus tea is extremely low, making it a great choice for people who don’t want caffeine in their coffee or tea. 

Hibiscus is naturally caffeine-free. If you’re curious about its potential health benefits, try drinking it a few times a week. 

San Francisco Herb Co. offers loose leaf hibiscus tea. It ships quickly and has excellent customer service.
