SOUR TEA

Sour tea, also known as sour tea or rose tea, is a popular herbal tea made from the dried calyx of the Hibiscus sabdariffa plant. It has a tart, slightly sour taste and a vibrant red color, which is why it is often referred to as sour tea.
Sour tea is prepared using the dry calyx of the hibiscus plant. The calyx is the outer part of the flower that forms a protective covering for the petals and seed pods.
To prepare sour tea, dried calyces are soaked in hot water. A handful of dry chalice is usually used for each cup of tea. The soaking time can vary, but it usually ranges from 5 to 10 minutes.
Sour tea has a spicy, sour and slightly sour taste. Often described as refreshing and bright.
In addition to being sour, sour tea can also have subtle floral and fruity notes that enhance its overall taste.
Sour tea is rich in antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which contribute to its vibrant red color. Antioxidants help protect the body against free radicals and oxidative stress.
Some studies suggest that the antioxidants in sour tea may help lower blood pressure and improve overall heart health.
Sour tea has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory effects, which may help reduce inflammation in the body.
Because of its potential ability to support metabolism and inhibit fat accumulation, sour tea is often used as part of weight management diets.
Sour tea is naturally decaffeinated, making it a great choice for those looking to avoid caffeine or looking for an option to drink at any time of the day.
Sour tea can be eaten both hot and cold. It is often sweetened with honey or other natural sweeteners to balance the tartness. Some people also add spices like cinnamon or ginger to enhance the flavor. Sour tea can be consumed alone or used as an ingredient in various drinks and cocktails.
