Tacos De Jamaica - Hibiscus Flower Tacos

Fun way to use up leftover hibiscus flowers after making PUL strawberry hibiscus mocktail. My husband makes a gallon of jamaica a week, so I would love other ways to use up the flowers instead of composting them, preferably in a sweet way as the sugar is added while the tea is steeping, so I’d assume the flowers would become a little sweet.

Hey Aileen, thanks for trying the recipe! If it helps, you can repurpose the sweetened hibiscus flowers by turning them into a jam. Simmer them with some additional sugar and water (or orange juice), then blend in a food processor to break up the large flowers. Or stew with berries, to make a hibiscus and berry compote! 😊

Would die if you made a yummy, complex vegan queso to pair with all these tacos

Where do you get the hibiscus flowers? ⭐

Hi José, we get our dried hibiscus flowers from a local coffee & tea specialty shop called 'Simon Lévelt'. They're also often available online 😊.

A nearby Mexican restaurant has hibiscus tacos, which I absolutely love and get every time I go there, so I was super excited to see this!!! I just made it last night and it did not disappoint :) the flavors just blend together so beautifully! 🥰❤️🌮
