Bissap is a versatile crop that has many uses.
Senegalese women add bissap leaves to popular dishes such as ceebu jën and also brew the flowers into a sugary juice or tea.
Hibiscus contains antioxidants and has been found to reduce blood pressure.
Jus de Bissap: Ingredients: Two or three cups of dried hibiscus flowers One or two cups of sugar Optional flavorings: sprig of mint, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger root, 1 teaspoon orange-flower water, ½ cup lemon juice, 1 cup pineapple or orange juice
In a saucepan, heat two quarts of cold water.
As soon as the water begins to boil, add the dried hibiscus leaves.
Immediately remove from heat and let the flowers steep for ten minutes.
Pour the water from the pot into a pitcher using a strainer to separate the flowers from the water.
Be sure not to pour any of the flower sediment into the pitcher.
Stir in the sugar.
Add any other flavorings, if desired.

Bissap is popular throughout West Africa where it’s called “bissap” and Mexico where it’s know as “Agua de Jamaica.” This recipe calls for hibiscus, mint, and honey or sugar. The packaged tea I had been drinking also listed blackberry leaves, apple, orange, lemon, lime, and strawberry as ingredients, so I added orange zest, lemon zest, and lime zest to the infusion. Also known as roselle, hibiscus is native to West Africa, and hibiscus water is one of Senegal’s most popular beverages. Bissap is made of hibiscus flowers, mint, and honey or sugar, and can also include other ingredients like ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and other fruits.
