a good friend of mine, also a tea lover, gave me a packet of dried roselle flowers, complete with specific instructions: 5 buds plus sugar and hot water for one cup.

I tried the recipe during a sleepy afternoon in office. I made myself a refreshing, flavorful roselle drink. the water turned purple after soaking the buds for a while. it worked like magic, I didn't feel sleepy right away, cos I was busy taking photos of the cute roselle buds ;)
