This pretty pink flower is

more than just eye candy.

Hibiscus’s popularity has

been blooming in the food

and beverage industry for

years—a trend that isn’t

slowing down. Hibiscus’s

floral, slightly tart flavor

has been popping up in

chocolates, ice cream and

sauces, though it’s most

widely used as an infusion

in beverages, as in the

new Hi-Biscus! flavor from

popular sparkling water

company LaCroix. Or

try it in the refreshing,

eye-catching Hibiscus

Tea recipe below.
