In Jamaica we call it sorrel……love it. We boil it with ginger then sweeten with sugar and add some Jamaican white rum………oh so good.

Carolyn you are missed girl! I have so many of your recipes saved going back 12 years, I'm back again because I use your sweet potato pie recipe every year and never write it down. Praying your strength in the Lord, happy holidays to you and your family.

Hello, Ms. Carolyn. I discovered my love of cooking from watching your videos. I ate out six days a week and my health was suffering for it. I found your channel and it changed my life. I’m a healthier person and more physically fit than I’ve been in years. Thank you for what you do. Keep the recipes coming!

This is a great diuretic also. Adding lemon orange and lime juice make it taste even more amazing. Almost like a homemade fruit punch!

I miss you! I always come to your channel if I wanna cook something I’ve never made before! I hope all is well with you! Please come back soon😘

I haven’t even started the video yet, but I’m really excited because we have this in West Africa and we call it “bissap”. I wonder if the process is similar. We also add a bit of mint, pineapple juice and fresh ginger juice

Sending good vibes and we'll wishes your way. The transition after being a caretaker is a whole process within itself.

Mrs Carolyn, I'm so glad your back to posting your videos, I've missed you girl.

Love it! In the islands we add ginger and call it sorrel. It’s one of my fave things to drink year round☺️💖

Carolyn!! Everytime my family and I get together I stop by your website or channel first for some ideas. Miss ya girl!🤎

Thanks ❤ I love this tea and I have some hibiscus tea cold in a pitcher in the refrigerator. It is refreshung! But I enjoy it hot just b4 I go to bed. Thanks, Carolyn 🌷⚘

Hope all is well ❤️ can’t wait for you to post recipes again

In Jamaica some people boil it but gives it a mouth feel I don’t like, my Jamaican family soaks it too...but with ginger, allspice and sweeten with sugar and a splash of rum no wine. I like that you made yours strong I hate when people use too much water and lose the beautiful flavor of the sorrel/hibiscus flower. This looks so refreshing.

Hi Carolyn, Thanks for sharing and great watching you. I was just thinking last night about boosting my daily vitamin C and here you go.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗. This tea is high in vitamin C. Thanks again and looking to see/view you soon. Be blessed.

Heeeeeey Ms Carolyn welcome back sis, let's get down to some goooood cookin

I'm so happy you're back! You know, I keep my family bellies full & happy with ONLY your recipes. Missing you, so please continuing posting. Thanks

In the Caribbean we call it sorell and we mostly harvested at Christmas time....we boil ginger, cinnamon and bayleaf in water ..when boiled then add the sorell and cover it..we usually let it sit overnight so everything comes out.....good stuff.... there are 3 colours... Light red White Dark dark red

I’m going to try this as soon as I can get some Hibiscus, if it’s real good I may try serving it at my food stand, I’m always looking for new things to try and stand apart from other similar businesses.

My cousin who is half Mexican/Panamanian said my aunt calls it Sorrel and she adds ginger. I call it Jamaica but both ways are sooo delicious!

My husband had sorrel a while ago and could not stop talking about it. Now I can make it for him. Thank you.

I live in Oakland love Mexican Food but I tried this drink last summer for the 1st time and now I’m head over heals I’m love with it. But your right the sweetness does depends on who makes it 😁 my mama got that same pitcher at home

I will keep my eyes open for this flower in order to try this tea. Thank you for sharing. Amen

I absolutely love Hibiscus tea... It's part of my daily diet - breakfast to be precise. I don't add any form of sweetness. I personally hate adding sugar. I prefer natural sugar and if my ingredients do not have sugar in it I have it just like that 😛 I never thought of making Hibiscus iced tea. The thought just never occurred. Thank you for sharing the video. I will definitely try it 😍

Carolyn, I just found your channel today and I’m so excited to try some of your recipes! I’ve been binge watching your videos all night. Haha just wanted to send some love your way ❤️

I drink this all the time. It tastes so refreshing....and it's healthy!!!

My mom has been making this so much lately I love it! I add lemon juice to mine for a little tartness. 😋

my sister brought me dried hibiscus flowers from Egypt and tea they make is delicious

This looks refreshing. Love the vibrant red color.

I just made this, I added a little twist, I used fresh cut ginger, and when I tell you it was so good delicious!

I love this! I never knew I could buy hibiscus loose like this. 🌺🌺🌺 Man I really miss your videos I’ve been learning from you I think since 2012…🌺🌺🌺

My mother in law would make hibiscus jelly. I so loved to put it on a buttered toast bread.

Thank You I love this tea it's so refreshing & smell so good! Thank You! I'm definitely making this for the summer it will be great for kids too as alternative to juice, soda..ect! Thanks Again xoxox Stay Safe & God Bless

I love Hibiscus.. I have some popsicles in the freezer now.

Thank you for that recipe my dear. Hibiscus is such an amazink flower health wise.

I found some hibiscus at the market and I bought it because I thought it was something spicy that would go good with my ramen... I'm happy that I can still get some use out of my purchase. Thank you for showing me this delicious recipe!

Luv it started drinking it because my doctor wanting to put me on high blood pressure medicstion I refused and started drinking hibiscus. I drink it daily, no more high blood pressure

Steep the flowers a few times then you can use them as a veagan meat substitute while still getting your refreshing drink

This is one of my favorite teas. I will be looking for this in stores. Be Blessed

HEY MISS CAROLYN, WELCOME BACK. I L❤VE HIBISCUS TEA OR JUICE IT HAS GREAT HEALTH BENEFITS. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO. I WILL MAKE THIS FOR MY MOM & I 🍵🥤

I love to add honey and lime juice in it

Dang what a coincidence!!! I just made this few hours ago and now this popped up on my feed

I'm glad you posted this! It is also good for high blood pressure. I get mine at the Mexican markets where it is cheaper. I was told to go there when my health food store ran out... it was half the price!

Look good

I always mix hibiscus and rose flower to make a beautiful tea.

I'm always happy to see you post. Love me some Cooking with Carolyn🤗😍

Yasssss, come through Miss Carolyn! Can you make lemonade next, I just wanna see your way of doing it

It pairs well with a nice rum for a refreshing summer cocktail.

I pray all is well! You just fell on my mind. Xoxoxo

Grabbing some of this for pickling onions, thanks!!

I looovve hibiscus tea, hot and cold. In the summer I make a alcohol free sangria type of drink using hisbicus tea as the base, and I add in whatever thinly sliced fruits I have and let it sit in the fridge overnight. My favorites are green apple and strawberry. Thanks for sharing!

I love hibiscus tea. I went to an all white party and it was thrown by a jamaican couple. They served hibiscus tea and it was BOMB. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Hey Carolyn just wanted to say Happy Holidays to you and your family. I hope all is well, stay safe!

I LOVE hibiscus tea and it makes a great tea lemonade (I like tart flavors). I need to look for this at the grocery stores as its cheaper than getting it from tea houses.

Well congratulations! I’m sooooo excited for you guys. I wish you luck. It’s such a trying time, but with God’s Will and your excellent culinary skills you guys will be blessed. Thanks for responding so soon. Peace!

In Arabic we call Hibiscus Karkadeh. It is also very popular here in the Middle East. Fun fact: hibiscus is known for to be very good for blood pressure control.

I wonder how she's been. I loved her sooo much

I almost just bought one at the African Market. I'm going back tomorrow 😅😅😅

My dad would make the most refreshing Jamaica on hot summer days when I was little

Thank you Carolyn.
