Dried Hibiscus please..anyone know of a local stockist !!?
If from your references your in the UK as a former chef and frequent visitor the country, try your local West Indian or Jamaican store, and as for sorrel flowers, it is a form of hybicus from the islands.
Also any store with a Polynesian stock of products, even a local health or nutritional foods shop, at the West Indian/Jamaican store there generally sold in bags, a around 10-30 grams they look like red tea bags all dried out, I use one in a cup of hot water with a dash of lemon and honey for sweetener, you can also add them to a pot of regular teas for flavour and colour.
Here in Canada I get them very inexpensively at my local Jamaican shop, so you may have do some searching check the local directory for the place in you area, but you may need to make a trip out of town to a larger city like London, Manchester, Birmingham or Liverpool.
Reply:The only thing i would suggest to try a chinese herbalist.(search in yellow pages) I know they blend their own teas, so they may just have Hibiscus.
