If you are curious about how you prepare this , well its very simple here im gonna tell you step by step:

  1. Grab some petals and expose them into the sun so they can dry
  2. leave the petals from 4 to 7 days drying
  3. Boild some water and put petals on it (for about 15min)
  4. Strain the petals and its ready!
    Pd: you can drink it hot or cold (its better cold)
    Pd: you can add some sugar ;)
    And that's how we prepare it at Home.

Me encanta esta planta porque:

Les dare la receta de como la preparamos aca en casa, es muy simple, les dire paso a paso.
•Toma muchos petalos ya maduros y exponlos al sol (aproximadamente 4-7dia) hasta que se sequen.
•Toma los petalos secos y ponlos a hervir en agua por 15min aproximadamente.
•Cola el agua con petalos y listo!
Pd: puedes tomarlo frio o caliente (preferiblemente frio)
Pd2: puedes agregarle azucar a tu gusto;)

Me da curiosidad porque dicen que tiene muchos beneficios como por ejemplo:
•Ayuda a bajar la presión arterial
•Ayuda en la digestion

•Ayuda a bajar de peso (a las mujeres nos gusta esto)

Se me vienen unas interrogantes con todo esto..
