PREPARATION OF THIS HEALTHY RECIPE
Note: This recipe calls for blueberry juice, not whole blueberries.
1. Boil 3 cups of water. Add jaggery & dry hibiscus. You may use a tea ball or strain after steeping. Steep for 10 minutes.
2. In a separate large bowl, pour 1 cup of blueberry juice. Add the gelatin and mix thoroughly. Let sit one minute.
3. Then add hot hibiscus tea to the gelatin mixture. Stir once or twice or until gelatin is completely dissolved. It will become thinner.
4. Pour into a 12x8 inch baking pan. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight. Cut into squares, or any other wonderful shape you like.
Garnish with fresh rose petals and serve!

CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
Cool and refreshing Hibiscus Blueberry Jello dessert helps you beat the heat. Your summer picnic isn't complete without it.
This jello helps you enjoy a little luxury and sweetness that is so needed when the summer heat saps you of energy and depletes your body of electrolytes. In moderation, it is healthy to
enjoy sweet treats in summer.
Hibiscus flower is the perfect
refrigerant, which is why Hibiscus is so popular as an herb south of the border. In summer, everyone needs to have a few refrigerants on hand.
Blueberry juice, cooling and tart, is like a cool shade tree - helping you feel grounded. A rose petal garnish adds elegance and beauty.
Cooling & Soothing
This delectably smooth dessert is perfect for firey pitta and sluggish kapha in the summer, two body types taxed by heat and humidity. Hibiscus' astringency re-tones flushed, overheated skin. Sweet taste in the summer time is quite soothing to body and mind. Pitta tempers and summer headaches will be instantly quenched by it's cool action and silken texture.
A Dessert for Hypertension
Have you ever heard of a dessert that eases hypertension? Yes it's possible! Hibiscus Blueberry Jello begins with a strong herbal infusion of hibiscus flowers, known to reduce blood pressure due to its diuretic action. Hibiscus also thins the blood, helping your circulatory system.
Great for Weight Loss
The cooling and astringent action of Hibiscus Jello suppresses excess hunger and appetite, meanwhile satisfying your sweet tooth. Its diuretic action reduces excess water weight and puffiness. Meanwhile, improved circulation naturally revitalizes your metabolism.
Great for Kids
As we all know, Jello declares fun to children. For a little one who is maxed out by the heat, this sweet treat will cool and calm quite quickly. Keep some in the refrigerator- it's easy to make and will take care of both you and your child in a heated moment.
A Word about Gelatin
Gelatin is a controversial ingredient. Like all ingredients, however, there is a spectrum of quality. Gelatin from grass fed animals can be a healthy protein source and improves skin and hair quality. If you are not a vegetarian, kosher gelatin from a good source doesn't have to be a politically incorrect choice. Knowing this, a whole world of jello is opened up. Hibiscus Blueberry Jello is a great place to start!
