For the iced hibiscus tea

For the hibiscus + chandan blend

Add hibiscus leaves to a pot with water.
Simmer gently for 8–12 minutes (or steep off-heat for 15–25 minutes if you prefer).
Strain. Let it cool slightly.

Optional: Add “hibiscus powder + chandan powder” (drinkable version)

Important: powders can settle and may taste gritty. Keep it light.

Tip: If it feels too thick/gritty, reduce chandan powder next time or skip the drinkable blend and use powders only for topical use.

Nutritional value (estimated)

For hibiscus iced tea, nutrition is usually low. Main variables are sweetener and how much powder you add.

Approx per 1–2 servings (depends on serving split):

If you add honey/sugar, carbs and calories increase quickly—tell me how much sweetener you add and I’ll calculate more accurately.

Antioxidants: Hibiscus contains polyphenols/antioxidants that can help reduce oxidative stress (supporting overall skin health).
Hydration support: When consumed as a tea, it may complement hydration routines.
Potential for soothing: Many people find it calming; scientific evidence is more supportive for general antioxidant/anti-inflammatory effects than for specific “treatments.”
May help with glow/texture: Indirect benefit—better lifestyle hydration/antioxidant intake can support healthy-looking skin.

Traditionally used for its cooling/soothing properties in skincare.
If you plan to use it topically, I can share a safe, simple mask recipe (and how to patch test).
