Anyone know when you pick these and how to use them. I’ve watched videos, but not sure I understand. I also seem to have two varieties growing on one plant. I’m not sure I understand how to use. Do I remove the petals or use the whole thing? At least I would like to make the hibiscus drink. Not sure I’m competent/confident enough to make a jelly.

I peel off and dry the outer (red) petals and use them as tea. Each pod contains a ton of seeds – very easily harvested for new plants in the spring!
Harvest the roselle after flower has bloomed and petals have fallen away. The roselle will be big a plump . Slice the bottom straight off, remove inner seed pod, and keep the side walls to dehydrate and use for tea.
