Instructions
Add water and the flour de jamaica to a pot. Use 5 calyces per cup of water.
Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
Strain out the herb. Pour the tea into a bottle.
Add 1 drop of peppermint essential oil for every 1/2 cup (4oz) of hibiscus tea.
You will probably want between a half cup and a cup of rinse per use, depending on the length of your hair. You can store unused rinse in the refrigerator for a day or two, but after that it will begin to spoil.
To Use
Slowly pour the rinse over damp hair and massage into scalp and locks. Leave in, if desired, or rinse with cool water.
