Notes
- Quality flowers: The quality of your dried Jamaica flowers can affect the flavor, so look for bright, vibrant flowers without too much dust or debris.
- More flavor: You can sweeten or add more flavor to your glass of agua de Jamaica by using healthy and sugar-free sweeteners like stevia powder, monk fruit sweetener, or allulose. You can add some spice by adding cinnamon sticks to the steeping process.
- Garnish: Do whatever garnish you like to make your refreshing iced tea more presentable. You can add a slice of lime or a sprig of mint.
- Serve fresh: This refreshing tea tastes best when served fresh, so make it in small batches if you are not planning to drink it all at once.
