Drink up

A new drink that contains a high level of antioxidants that can be an effective remedy against high blood pressure, and can help ward off certain types of cancer and urinary tract infections has been brought to the UK.

Simply Hibi, the super juice that contains 17 times more anthocyanins than cranberry and other juice drinks, is a 100 per cent natural, hibiscus infusion drink that provides an effective natural remedy for high blood pressure. Its composition of
85 per cent hibiscus-infused water and 15 per cent grape juice concentrate ensures a rich berry flavour and no artificial colourings or preservatives are added.

Will Irving, owner of Ibis Organics and the Simply Hibi drink, said: “A study by the American Heart Association shows clearly that drinking hibiscus is a good way for high blood pressure sufferers to help ease their condition. It is worrying how many people are unaware that they might have high blood pressure and so we would encourage people to try Simply Hibi for themselves as an easy, effective way of combating the problem.”

The Simply Hibi reminded the team of cranberry, but with a more fruity aspect. Delicious on its own, it had a dryness that made it a drink to savour rather than guzzle down. It also could be used as a sophisticated mixer, with a gin and Hibi creating a new take on the traditional vodka and cranberry juice. Its beautiful dark colour and interesting history also made it more interesting than a run of the mill juice.
