Hibiscus Tea Recipe (Agua De Jamaica) Recipe
By Peanut Palate
🔪Prep Time: 5 mins
👩🍳Cook Time: 10 mins
Ingredients
3 cups water
½ cup dried hibiscus leaves
1 tbsp lemon or lime juice Add 2 tbsp if you prefer it to be more tangy
1-2 1-inch slice ginger thin slices – add 2 for a stronger ginger flavor
½ medium cinnamon stick
6 tbsp xylitol
Instructions
1In a large pot on the stove over medium high heat, boil water with the sugar and spices. Stir it every so often to make sure the sugar dissolves. Use only 3 cups water if you're going to drink it cold, or all 4 cups of water if you're drinking it hot.
2Once it's boiling and the sugar has dissolved, turn off the heat and stir in the hibiscus leaves.
3Let it sit for a half hour. You can leave it for longer as well.
4Strain into a pitcher so all spices and hibiscus flowers get strained out. Add in ice cubes to serve.
5Serve with lemon slices and enjoy cold!
