Is there a store that sells Hibiscus Petals in or around Bangor, Maine?

Question

I'm doing a project for my 10th grade World History Class and I'm required to prepare a type of food and a type of beverage. I searched the web and found that "Karkady", a very popular Egyptian version of iced tea, is traditionally made with Hibiscus petals. I was unsure whether there were any stores around my area that sold them. I would be extremely grateful for any help you could give me.

Answer 1

Best bet:

check out a florist or the garden center at a local Wal-mart or Target.

You could also substitute rose petals, Egyptians use that also.

**Please do ask if they have been sprayed with any pesticides or sprayed with anything before using.

Answer 2

some farm markets sell them fresh also some of the bigger supermarkets like Shaw's or Big Y sell dried petals for tea making.
