What to do with dried hibiscus petals?

Hello.
I have ended up with 3kg of dried hibiscus, yes 3kg. Lol
I have been using it to make tea but there is only so much of that I can get through.
I was hoping that someone on here might be using it for something else and could give me some ideas.
It is currently in petal form but I have a grinder that I could use to make it into powder if this opens my options at all. I am also happy to male it into a lot of something and give it as homemade gifts.
Please help.

Hibiscus syrup?Focus on contribution instead of the impressiveness of consumption to see the true beauty in people.0 -
A quick Google suggests that you can use them for dyeing cloth, although it looks a little complicated.0
