You can use the edible blooms to make tea.

Harvest the pods when they're less than 4 inches long for the best flavor and texture. Young okra pods are more tender and have less of a ���slimy��� mouthfeel. Eat them in soups, stews, fried or saut矇ed. Okra is in the hibiscus family, so the flowers are edible and delicious stuffed or used as a garnish.
