Well, I am new to hibiscus tea drinking and I love it. I even made hibiscus tea when my siblings came to us for family bonding. At first they were sceptical because they have not heard about hibiscus or gumamela tea.
Yesterday, I was making eggplant salad but the appearance of the salad was not appetising to me due to its color. So, I went to the garden and harvested 2 hibiscus flowers. I washed them and put them on my eggplant salad. It was the first time I added hibiscus to my eggplant salad. It was so delicious.
Have you tried eating hibiscus salad?
Btw, how was your weekend? Mine was good. We were practising our dance for my fathers birthday next month. Have a lovely new week to all.
P.S. I keep on trying adding photo but until now no success. I hope later.

I've never tried it before and I'm not sure if I will. It doesn't look very appealing to me. lol

Looks like a most colorful salad. I love hibiscus tea with either orange juice or apple juice. Never tried hibiscus in salad. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, it was a colorful salad with the red hibiscus @RasmaSandra. I would be missing this as there is no hibiscus in Germany.

@thelme55 Surely if you look they must sell hibiscus tea at stores because here in Riga, Latvia I also don't know if hibiscus grows but they do sell the hibiscus leaves in stores as tea.

Thanks, this is something new again from you which I will try, but I doubt if my family will eat the hibiscus! I told them about the hibiscus tea, and I tried it too.

Yes , I know what you mean @acelawrites.. My father asked what it was and I just said vegetable and he ate it and I presumed he liked it as he had eaten a lot of this salad. I didn't think he would ate it if I have said gumamela.
