Hibiscus

Hibiscus extract is a red food coloring that is obtained through the flower named Hibiscus Subdariffa. Manufacturers produce the hibiscus extract through an aqueous extraction of the flower's dried outer portions which is called Calyx. The dried flower often provides all natural flavors for tea and other beverages. Like other anthocyanin sources the hibiscus is mostly stable in acidic conditions and its hue shifts from red to purple as the pH levels increase.
