Summertime is definitely here in So Cal! It’s balmy, hot and sticky. It’s bikini weather and the Covid pounds are cramping my style lol. Thankfully I have a delicious recipe that is not only refreshing, detoxing, helps rid you of water weight but is great for weight loss too- Agua De Jamaica! Jamaica is also called hibiscus tea but it’s not from the traditional hibiscus flower but a petite burgundy hued bloom that grows on stalks just as burgundy as the flowers it gives. It’s a great summertime drink and a delicious way to flatten your belly!
For this recipe you will need:
1 cup Jamaica flowers
1 gallon spring or alkaline water
Sweetener of your choice
Directions
- Rinse flowers in cool water
- Add flowers to 1/2 of your water and bring to a boil.
- Remove from flame and cover. Let cool.
- Strain liquid into pitcher.
- Reboil flowers in the remaining water and repeat process.
- Sweeten to taste. I prefer mine a lil tart.
- Serve over ice and enjoy!
You can have this drink hot or iced! I know you will love it!
Have you ever had Agua de Jamaica?
May your home be filled with warmth, your pantry full and may you always have good health!
