The Ingredient

🌺 Dried Hibiscus sabdariffa Calyces (Ngai Ngai / Bissap / Zobo Leaves) — the young leaves and calyces from the Rosella shrub, related to hibiscus. A fast-growing plant whose flowers have a very short lifespan — the calyx (the bright red fruit surrounding the seed pod) is harvested and dried to preserve its vibrant colour, intensely tart flavour, and natural antioxidant compounds.
