Horchata and jamaica tea Sharon Z

[Guest guest]

I don't know for sure. This is how all my Mexican

family members and coworkers make it and I love it but

not with a lot of sugar, just poured over ice or on

cereal. Have you tried make hibiscus tea with the

dried flowers? If you have a latin market get some

dried hibiscus (it's jamaica in Spanish)

here's a little info for you

it's delicious and so refreshing.

Hibiscus is delicious, Donna. All of my favourite herb and fruit teas

include hibiscus - it has a fabulous flavour and a wonderful red

colour. It goes well with rosehips.
