You could try this, though you may need to use a hand mixer to blend the flowers since she uses a powder here.

I use dried hibiscus flowers to make a tea. I use this as the liquid portion of any concoction I make, or use it by itself as a rinse.

I add it to my Ayurvedic conditioning mixes. I grind it up as a powder like the others (or if I'm feeling bold I'll leave them whole). Or I will make a tea out them and use them in my spritz. I don't drink the tea though.

I use hibiscus flowers in my homemade flax seed gel. I bring them to a boil in water along with whole brown flax seeds and marshmallow root herb. The hibiscus adds a nice pink tint to the gel and makes it more acidic.
