Agua de Jamaica Natural

This is a very typical drink served with breakfast, lunch and dinner in Mexico! Typically served wit ice, this is sometimes served hot. Jamaica water is a remedy for stomach aches, head aches and many other ailments!

____________________________________________________________________

4-8 cups water (Depending on how strong you want it)

1/2 cup dried jamaica flowers (Hibiscus Flower)

Cane sugar (at your discretion)

______________________________________________________

Bring water to a boil in a pan that you don't mind staining! Place dried flowers (they can be found at Fiesta and HEB in Texas, elsewhere, you might have to find a Mexican grocer) Go ahead and add the sugar cane at this time! Sugar cane usually comes in a cone, you can cut it for less.

Once water becomes completely burgundy red, pour into a pitcher and chill or serve as a hot tea!
