Equipment

  • 1 pot
  • 1 bottle

Materials

  • Fresh flor de jamaica calyces
  • water
  • peppermint essential oil

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.
