Easy Jamaica Agua Fresca | Hibiscus Fresh Water | Aguas Frescas Recipe

[@cocoaxo]

Just because Mexicans drink hibiscus and call it Jamaica doesn't make it a Mexican drink. My father is from the islands and we have been drinking hot hibiscus tea and cold hibiscus for generations they also drink it in the deep south also I hope you weren't mocking black women when you said "oh my goodness "

[@Viewsontheroad]

Sorry, but where in the title does it say Mexican drink? In addition, Mexico has Carribean islands and our own version of Jamaica. Just because you have your racist eyes on doesn't mean I mean anything ill towards black women. I consider ALL Black women to be my sisters. "Oh my goodness" comes from my youngest son making that sentence vibrate. This is the last response you get because you sound like you need time offline. Take care!

[@jazpadilla7264]

Why do have to make it about race? That's starting to get real annoying..just enjoy the recipe girl!

[@faye7842]

Also the way you pronounce Jamaica in the Caribbean is different then how hispanics pronounce it if you break it down Hispanics say it like “hi-my-ca”. Also, what culture doesn’t exaggerate the saying “oh my goodness”. Geez, chill out. Steph got your back.

[@jessicasalazar5759]

If you don't have anything positive to say, please go away! Noone needs your negativity and racists comments!!! Let us enjoy this delicious recipe! Some of us were actually looking forward to this drink!Bye!🙄

[@RandeT73]

She says 'Oh My Goodness' in practically every video at 1 point or another. You really need to take your racist blinders off and see the world in full color. I've seen Asians and Polys drink and eat Hibiscus drinks, flavored rices, and other foods or drinks. My husband used to go to the Islands all the time when he was in the navy, the various ships he was on went there. And he loved the food there. One of his best friends, almost 30 yrs is Jamaican.

[@panamara5377]

I just made this today for my husband on Father’s Day and he absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for this. I used 5 cups boiling water 1&1/2 cups of hibiscus steeped 15 min, strained, added 1 cup sugar let it cool, added 2 cups filtered water served over ice with a squeeze of fresh lime. HEAVEN!

[@ifeomasmith2533]

Great recipe! In the Caribbean we call it sorrel and we add spices like cinnamon, clove , ginger, etc. It really brings out the flavour of it and you can also reuse the petals once more or twice.

[@image0png]

Fr, I’m from Jamaica and I had no idea sorrel had a proper name😵‍💫 I saw this video thumbnail and was like, “wait!”

[@lionsoupp]

I didn't know you could reuse the leaves 😭😭😭 I've been throwing them out

[@griselvazquez9378]

Trying the adding cinnamon 😱

[@user-mr2yc5pl2x]

how many times can you reuse them before they lose their potency?

[@ifeomasmith2533]

@@user-mr2yc5pl2x It depends on the kind. The red ones are less potent than the dark red, “black” varieties. 2 to 3 times is the maximum.

[@DiamondPrincessMex]

My favorite drink. I make it in my coffee maker.... and I use the flowers twice to make a gallon. I don’t have to strain the flowers 🌺 I just pop out the filter and throw it away. This drink never lasts a day!!! I love your videos and beautiful personality!!!

[@Eristotl3]

Hibiscus tea is so good for you. It tastes like flowery cranberry.. I LUF IT! If you have high blood pressure it will lower it with consistent consumption.

[@nobuchika3088]

@@ja41144 you can boil water in a pot with the cinnamon stick then add the petals :O

[@CosmicComicChronicles]

@@ja41144 you'd have to do it whilst steeping the tea for optimal effects. Cold or lukewarm water wont make any difference.

@Elle D I always buy it at a Mexican market. That's the only place I seen that sales it in a big bag

[@patturcake2053]

Awww thank you, I would drink about 3 cups a day. It might taste a little weird at first without sugar but you can add a little then wing yourself off. I cut off soda and juice and just drink jamaica and water. I lost 15lbs in about 2 months.

[@eutanasio31]

Exactly you dont need sugar

[@DESTRAKON]

@@patturcake2053 do they have it at fiesta?

Hibiscus is one of my favorite. Right now I am kicking it up a notch and fermenting it with kombucha. So refreshing.

[@JenSpice]

@@barbiquist8322 Sure! I got a hibiscus scoby from Positively Probiotic. Make the tea like the Views (extra sweet if you like lots of bubbles) and add the scoby with about 2 cups of starter tea (kombucha liquid). Leave it to ferment until fizzy and yummy!

It takes mine about a week. I decant and refrigerate this and enjoy cold or add ice!

[@gracegonzales5408]

I love how you demystify these dishes. Horchata was always my favorite (until I stumbled across watermelon) and I was always told it was a process to make. Now that you've shown how easy it can be, I'm excited to get cracking! What I really love is that through food, you've introduced a culture that I had claim to yet really hadn't been exposed to. It's really exciting because it's integrating a missing facet of my background that I didn't truly realize wasn't there. Thank you!

[@larryowens1592]

Thank you so much I have been asking everyone I know/meet and no one knows how to make it. But you just solved the mystery for me.

[@janielewis1475]

I love hibiscus! Lately when I make it it was more bitter than it had been in the past. Thought it was because I had purchased a different batch of dried flowers but now I've learned that I may be brewing it longer than I need to (for my taste). THANK YOU so much for that! Now I'll let the blooms steep 15 minutes and then strain them off.
