- 3/4 cup granulated sugar more if desired
- 6 cups water
- ice

Instructions
- Rinse and drain the dried hibiscus flowers in a large colander.

Notes
- Serve Agua de Jamaica in a vitrolero (glass barrel jar) or beverage dispenser filled with ice, or feel free to store and serve it in a pitcher.
- You can freeze some of the mixture in popsicle molds to make Hibiscus Paletas!
- This Agua de Jamaica can also be brewed with canela (cinnamon) to make Hibiscus-Cinnamon Tea.
- Make Jamaica Margaritas with tequila, lime juice, and a drizzle of agave.
