Zen's Agua de Jamaica
- 35 min to make,
- yields 2 quarts
Ingredients:
- 2 quarts water
- 1 to 2 tsp Zen's Stevia Leaves (depending on how sweet you would like it to be)

- 1/2 cinnamon stick (optional)
- A few thin slices ginger (optional)
- Zen's Elderberries (optional)
- Lime juice (optional)
- Orange or lime slices for garnish
Method:
-
Boil water with stevia and spices.
Put 4 cups of the water and the stevia in a medium saucepan. Add cinnamon, ginger slices, and/or a few allspice berries if you would like. Heat until boiling and the stevia has dissolved.
-
Steep with dried hibiscus flowers
Remove from heat. Stir in the dried hibiscus flowers. Cover and let sit for 20 minutes.

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.)
-
Add 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.
- Enjoy!
