1 cup (medium) of Hibiscus cinnamon and clove tea (240 g) has 5 calories. That works out to 2 calories per 100 g. It contains 1 g of carbs, 0.2 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0.2 g of fiber. Its 7.2 mg of Vitamin C covers 8% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Hibiscus cinnamon and clove tea is an infusion made by steeping dried hibiscus flowers with cinnamon and cloves, rather than leaves from the tea plant. Hibiscus gives it a bright red colour and a tart, fruity flavour; the spices add a fragrant warmth. Recipes vary, and the blend has no single fixed place of origin.
It can be served hot on a cool day or chilled over ice, as is common with hibiscus drinks in many parts of the world. Naturally caffeine-free and very low in calories when served plain, it makes a light alternative to sweetened drinks. Add sweetener if you prefer a softer tartness, or steep it briefly for a gentler spice flavour.

Pour freshly boiled water over the hibiscus, cinnamon and cloves, then let the blend steep before straining. Taste it as it brews: a longer steep makes the tart hibiscus flavour stronger. Serve it hot, or chill it for an iced drink.
Hibiscus tea may modestly lower blood pressure, and that effect could matter in this blend. If you take blood-pressure medication, ask your clinician before drinking it regularly, since combining them may lower your pressure too much.
Hibiscus cinnamon and clove tea is tart and fruity, with warm, aromatic spice from the cinnamon and cloves. If you find the hibiscus too sharp, steep the blend for less time or add a little honey after brewing.
Yes, hibiscus cinnamon and clove tea is naturally caffeine-free when made from hibiscus and spices alone. It can be a caffeine-free alternative to black tea or coffee, though it is not a treatment for insomnia.
Most adults can enjoy hibiscus cinnamon and clove tea in moderate amounts as part of their usual drinks. Hibiscus can affect blood pressure, so people taking medication or managing a health condition should check whether regular use is appropriate.
No, hibiscus cinnamon and clove tea does not cause weight loss by itself. Unsweetened, it can replace a sugary drink, but there is no good evidence that hibiscus, cinnamon or cloves in the tea burn body fat.
Its safety during pregnancy has not been established, so hibiscus cinnamon and clove tea is not a good choice to drink regularly without medical advice. Ask your healthcare professional before using it, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Yes, hibiscus cinnamon and clove tea can be served cold. Brew it with hot water and chill it after straining, or steep the blend in cold water in the refrigerator for several hours for a gentler flavour.
It can. The tart hibiscus in hibiscus cinnamon and clove tea may cause stomach discomfort or heartburn for some people, especially on an empty stomach. Try having it with food or making a less concentrated brew.
Steep hibiscus cinnamon and clove tea for about five to ten minutes, then strain it. A shorter steep keeps the flavour milder, while a longer one draws out more tartness and spice; follow the blend’s package directions if available.
