Hibiscus flowers and cloves are popular ingredients in traditional drinks, while avocado is a nutrient-rich food that provides healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Combining these ingredients can create an interesting homemade beverage, but claims that one seed or drink can cure cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, or poor circulation are not supported by reliable medical evidence.
A simple hibiscus and clove tea can be prepared easily at home.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons dried hibiscus flowers
- 4–5 whole cloves
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon honey, optional
- A small squeeze of lemon, optional
- ¼ avocado, optional if making a smoothie rather than a tea
