Agua de Jamaica
One of my favorite refreshing drinks in the summer time. I love the beautiful ruby, red color and zingy, tang. I brew it using the hot summer sunshine, add a squeeze of lime, and serve over ice. It is absolutely wonderful!

I buy my dried hibiscus flowers from Mountain Rose Herbs and Bulk Herb Store. They both have excellent quality products for good prices.
