Hibiscus tea, homeblended

I love hibiscus tea.  There's something about it that leaves the mouth feeling moist, unlike some other beverages that leave you with a dry feeling. 

I like Hibiscus High-tea.
But don't want the stevia (I suspect it of stimulating my pancreas to release insulin, which is counterproductive to my current weight loss effort).

So I make my own out of all this dried stuff (measurements are approximate--I like mine tangy and minty):

• 1/4 c. hibiscus flowers
• 1/8 c. rose petals
• 1.5 T rosehips
• 2 T orange peel
• 2 T lemon peel
• 2 T lemon grass
• 4 T spearmint (I luuuuurve spearmint)

Gently toss these all together.  Steep.  Slurp.  Enjoy!

NOTE: My hibiscus and rose petals were in quite large pieces, so I gently used the mortar and pestle on them, adding the orange and lemon and rosehips after a little bit.
