This traditional agua gets its glorious red color from the jamaica, or hibiscus, flower, whose natural sourness is counteracted by the sugar. Ingredients:
4 cups water |
1 cup dried hibiscus flowers (about 1 1/2 ounces) |
1/3 cup sugar, or to taste |
2 cups ice |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan bring water to a boil and add flowers. Simmer mixture 5 minutes and remove pan from heat. Let mixture stand 30 minutes to infuse.
2. Pour infusion through a sieve into a glass pitcher, pressing on solids, and discard flowers. Add sugar and ice, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Chill cooler and stir before serving.
