How to cook deliciously - Agua de Jamaica (Hibiscus Iced Tea)

1 . Stage

Boil the water with sugar and spices: Put 4 cups of the water and the sugar in a medium saucepan. Add cinnamon, ginger slices, and/or a few allspice berries if you would like. Heat until boiling and the sugar has dissolved.

2 . Stage

Steep with the dried hibiscus flowers: Remove from heat. Stir in the dried hibiscus flowers using a spatula. Cover and let sit for 20 minutes.

3 . Stage

Strain: Strain into a pitcher and discard the used hibiscus flowers, ginger, cinnamon, and/or allspice berries. (At this point you can store ahead the concentrate, chilled, until ready to make the drink.)

4 . Stage

Add the water: Add remaining 4 cups of water (or if you want to chill the drink quickly, ice and water) to the concentrate, and chill. Alternatively, you can add ice and chilled soda water for a bubbly version. Add a little lime juice for a more punch-like flavor. Serve over ice with a slice of orange or lime.
