On Wednesday I made agua de jamaica. It’s basically iced red zinger tea. I’ve had it in restaurants and it’s delicious. Although I now realize the must add a ton of sugar.
I started with buying a bag of dried hibiscus flowers. They have huge bins at the stores where you can buy them in bulk.
The recipe was one cup dried flowers to 3 cups water.
After boiling for 15 minutes and straining it I ended up with a concentrate. I added water and now have a pitcher of still concentrated red zinger tea.
I added more water into a glass and some stevia.
It’s good but would be better with a crap ton of sugar. Here are all the benefits according to Google. I think that bag of dried flowers, will make gallons and gallons of agua de jamaica so I will be healthy but might have stained red teeth.
Cool! Welcome to the stained tooth club, my weakness is very strong English breakfast tea☕️
I love English breakfast iced tea. Might have to start using a straw.
😆
This is so cool! Sounds like a great idea. I have such a hard time giving up coffee (stained teeth as well)
Me too. I’m thinking coffee in the morning and this red stuff in the afternoon. Good thing gin doesn’t stain.🤣
I’m all about stained teeth from wine, coffee, and tea, so why not add another layer? 😃
I think if I drink enough things that will cancel each other out.
Reminds me of Teavana. The dried flowers probably look really pretty when they open up in the water.
