Frequently Asked Questions About Hibiscus cinnamon drink
How do you make hibiscus cinnamon drink?
Steep dried hibiscus and a cinnamon stick in hot water, then strain when the flavor is strong enough for you. The drink is naturally tart and warmly spiced, so taste it before adding sweetener; it can be served unsweetened.
What does hibiscus cinnamon drink taste like?
Hibiscus cinnamon drink tastes tart and fruity, with a warm, sweet-smelling spice note from the cinnamon. A cinnamon stick gives a gentler flavor, while ground cinnamon can make the drink cloudier and more intensely spiced.
Can you drink hibiscus cinnamon drink cold?
Yes, hibiscus cinnamon drink works well chilled. Brew it hot and let it cool, or steep the ingredients in cold water for a slower, milder infusion. Refrigerate it after brewing and add ice just before serving.
Does hibiscus cinnamon drink contain caffeine?
No, hibiscus cinnamon drink made only with hibiscus and cinnamon is naturally caffeine-free. It will contain caffeine if you add black tea, green tea, or another caffeinated ingredient.
Does hibiscus cinnamon drink lower blood pressure?
Hibiscus may modestly lower blood pressure, but hibiscus cinnamon drink is not a treatment for hypertension. If you take blood-pressure medication or already have low blood pressure, ask your healthcare professional before drinking it regularly.
Can hibiscus cinnamon drink help with weight loss?
Hibiscus cinnamon drink does not cause weight loss on its own. When unsweetened, it can replace a sugary drink, but the drink itself does not burn fat or produce lasting weight loss.
Can you use ground cinnamon in hibiscus cinnamon drink?
Yes, ground cinnamon can be used in hibiscus cinnamon drink, but it may settle in the cup and make the texture gritty. A cinnamon stick is easier to remove and usually gives a clearer drink.
Is hibiscus cinnamon drink good before bed?
Hibiscus cinnamon drink is caffeine-free, so it is unlikely to keep most people awake for that reason. Its tartness or the extra fluid may bother some people near bedtime, so have it earlier if that applies to you.
How long does hibiscus cinnamon drink last in the fridge?
Hibiscus cinnamon drink can be kept in a covered container in the refrigerator for a few days. Cool it promptly after brewing, and discard it if its smell, appearance, or taste changes.
Is hibiscus cinnamon drink safe during pregnancy?
Hibiscus cinnamon drink is not well established as safe during pregnancy, especially when consumed regularly or in concentrated amounts. Ask your prenatal healthcare professional before drinking it; herbal ingredients are not automatically safe in pregnancy.

What is Hibiscus cinnamon drink?
Hibiscus cinnamon drink is an infusion made by steeping dried hibiscus flowers with cinnamon in hot water. It can be served sweetened or plain, and hibiscus infusions are enjoyed in many parts of the world, both hot and chilled. The drink is naturally caffeine-free when made without tea leaves.
Tart, fruity hibiscus brings a bright flavour, while cinnamon adds warmth and fragrance. Enjoy it in a mug on a cool day or chill it and serve over ice in warmer weather; it also makes a pleasant alternative to tea alongside a snack. Unsweetened, it is very light, with 3 calories per 100 g. For a less tart cup, use a little less hibiscus or steep it for less time rather than adding sugar.
