Instructions

1. Rinse the dried hibiscus flowers thoroughly under cold running water.

3. Add the rinsed hibiscus flowers to the boiling water. Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the flowers steep for 15-20 minutes.
4. Strain the steeped mixture into a large pitcher. Press down on the flowers with a spoon to extract as much flavorful liquid as possible.
5. Stir in the sugar and freshly squeezed lime juice into the hibiscus-infused water until the sugar is completely dissolved.
6. Refrigerate the Agua de Jamaica until thoroughly chilled, for about 2 hours.
7. Serve this refreshing drink over ice cubes for an ultimate cooling experience.
