Justicia spicigera or the Mexican honeysuckle is a beautiful herb that has lovely orange or red tubular-shaped flowers that add a tropical look to any garden. This plant, which also goes by the name of the ‘desert honeysuckle,’ or the ‘firecracker plant,’ is one of those rare herbs which can withstand intense heat and grow well even with minimum water supply. Native to Mexico, Central and South America, this herb has always been a part of Hispanic culture. Many centuries ago, it was found that the leaves of the muicle when boiled, first turned black and then later took on a deep shade of dark blue. Artists and painters used extracts derived from this plant to make dye, which was then used as a means for creative expression. The indigo dye which was made from the Mexican honeysuckle was used to add color to clothes, paintings, baskets, weaves and other handmade crafts. The fragrant leaves and flowers of the Mexican Honeysuckle can be brewed and enjoyed as a hot delicious tea. Mexican honeysuckle honey has a delicious taste to it and the scent of the flowers adds a sweet fragrance as well. You can also make honeysuckle jelly from the flowers. Many add lemon juice and elderflower and enjoy the jelly straight from the bottle. The powder of Muicle is generally prepared in 400-450 mg capsules.
