Hibiscus tea?

[Colorowdy]

So I have this box of Organically Hip Hibiscus tea and I'm gonna brew with it. My question to you fine people is do I add it to the boil or do I make a tincture? I guess there is two how much do I use?
Thanks all I'm kinda busy and too lazy to do a search.

Drank the stuff but never brewed with it. It has a watered down cranberry tartness to it, and no sweetness. I'd say to get full flavor you may want to go the tincture route. I'm not familiar with that particular brand, but some teas aren't 100% hibiscus and that being the case you would get other flavors in there too that you may or may not want.

A bit of trivia for you - hibiscus tea is good for supporting a healthy blood pressure.

"I'm drinking this hibiscus infused beer for my health!" LOL

I would go the tincture route, but when I make my green tea IPA, I cool the beer down to tea-brewing temp, add the tea and steep, then continue my chill to pitching temperature.

Went with the tincture I am using ten grams in three ounces vodka.
