Agua de Jamaica

This tasty and refreshing drink is made with dried hibiscus flowers, also known as roselle or Jamaican sorrel. Essentially, it’s an herbal iced tea, but perhaps the most beautiful one you’ve ever had, with a brilliant magenta color extracted from the flowers. I like to soak the flowers overnight, as is traditional in my family, because I feel this extracts more of the subtle, tart, berrylike flavor. Once you’re done, instead of discarding the hibiscus flowers, save them to snack on. They’ll be a little sweet, and I think they’re delicious. Just be sure to keep them refrigerated.
