But then......
Someone taught me how to make my own "Agua de Jamaica" (pronounce it "AH-gwa day hu-MY-cuh").
Can you say delicioso????? I could drink this stuff all.day.long. And it is good for you! Just research "hibiscus tea". "Agua de Jamaica" is just that, tea made from dried hibiscus flowers.
Here's how to make it:
First get your dried hibiscus flowers. I usually buy mine in bulk here in Guadalajara. This time I bought it in a package at the supermarket. In the states you can find it online. Check it out at Bulk Herb Store. If you live near any Hispanic grocery stores, you may be able to get it there.

When I have bulk flowers, I use about two handfuls for 2 one-gallon pitchers.
Boil the dried flowers in water for several minutes.
Then strain it into your pitchers, sweeten to taste and add water to fill your pitchers.
Enjoy a nice cold glass of "Agua de Jamaica". Tangy and refreshing!
**I did find a warning about the use of hibiscus tea during pregnancy. Please do your research before drinking this during pregnancy.
